Supreme Court’s New Term: Wildfires & ‘Zombie Forests’

The U.S. Supreme Court begins its fall term by considering an environmental suit against oil companies. Voice recordings show Cornell student “Jane Doe” confronting the man she accused of orchestrating a gang rape. And several polls show Democrats pulling even - or even ahead - in red states’ Senate races.
