Abstract:
An interview with Michael Stegman, a University of North Carolina professor, reveals the complexity underlying the shortage of affordable housing.

Abstract:
Over the course of a year, almost two million North Carolinians find themselves at risk of being unable to afford health care they need. The uninsured are disproportionately young, single, female and black.

Abstract:
Many of the latest food fads are scams, but others, such as the fish fad, are riddled with pesticides and pollutants. North Carolinians are more prone to food contaminants due to the state’s farming activity, humid climate, and proximity to the coast. Citizens are advised to take food precautions, and to consider new laws that would encourage organic farming and tax pesticide use.
