Soon, half of all American schoolkids will live in states that offer public money for a private education. Texas is the latest to join in, budgeting $1 billion to spend this fall on private school scholarships or homeschooling expenses. Next year, the federal government will start incentivizing private school scholarships in states that have never offered them before. In theory, these programs are supposed to give children an educational opportunity they wouldn’t otherwise have. In reality, students already in private school are most likely to benefit, an analysis by The Associated Press shows.

When you go camping, do you have hot dogs or quinoa salad? For most people, processed foods are the go-to because they’re convenient. But dietitians say you don’t have to sacrifice your health or torture your taste buds in the wild. Aaron Owens Mayhew says sugary carbs like candy bars and baked goods can lead to an energy crash. Foods high in saturated fat can cause bloating or weigh you down. Instead, at a campsite, try to eat close to what you have at home. Also, pack lightweight, easy-to-cook grains like instant brown rice or couscous. Boost the flavor with garlic or onion powder, fresh herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, nuts, or dried fruit or mushrooms. A universal spice mix in a container can jazz up grilled meat, fish or vegetables.

In 1976, as the United States prepared to celebrate its 200th anniversary, the mood was ambivalent. Americans had outlasted the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal, with the occasional moment of joy like the moon landing. The State of the Union was intact, even if many Americans were still on edge. The traveling Freedom Train, Operation Sail and TV's “Bicentennial Minute" aimed for positive vibes, dance music ruled the airwaves, and Farrah Fawcett-Majors' red, white and blue poster became a phenomenon. But Nixon-era paranoia lingered in theaters with “All the President's Men,” “Taxi Driver” and “Network.”

Roaring crowds wearing stars and stripes came out to support the U.S. men's soccer team in their World Cup opener against Paraguay. While the U.S. isn't known for soccer as much as football or basketball, the sport has seen a rise in popularity since the last time the country hosted the international tournament in 1994. Many fans on Friday said they grew up playing soccer, and came from immigrant families passionate about the sport. They traveled from as far as Tennessee and Georgia to see the team play. And they saw the U.S. beat Paraguay 4-1.

Steven Spielberg's new film “Disclosure Day” explores extraterrestrial life and its impact on religion. UFOs, now also called UAPs, are gaining mainstream attention. The Pentagon released UFO files in May, sparking public curiosity. Former President Barack Obama set off a media frenzy by suggesting aliens exist in an interview. Some believe extraterrestrial life could challenge religious beliefs, while others see it as beneficial. Some Catholic figures — such as Vice President JD Vance and Monsignor Stephen Rossetti — view UFOs as demonic, though the Catholic Church remains open to the idea of alien life. Theologians and historians note that interest in otherworldly beings dates back centuries.
