| | By Made by History / Produced by Olivia B. Waxman | Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., wants to end the "aggressive suppression" of raw dairy by public health authorities. Yet, as Carla Cevasco explains in Made by History, the history of how the federal government came to strongly regulate and oversee the milk industry in the early 20th century suggests this would be a major mistake. During the late 19th century, children began consuming an increasingly dairy heavy diet. This proved devastating because the milk supply was a nightmare of corruption and contamination. Tens of thousands of babies died every year of gastroenteritis and infant mortality rates skyrocketed. The ensuing push for milk regulation, Cevasco chronicles, was one of the major drivers of dramatically decreased child mortality during the 20th century. Today, this history is forgotten, which runs the risk that Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again" movement could bring back an infant mortality crisis previous generations of Americans thought they had overcome. | |

| "U2's songs speak equally to the Selma of two decades ago and the Nicaragua of tomorrow. They are about spiritual search, and conscience and commitment, and it follows that some of the band's most memorable performances — and, not incidentally, the ones that have helped U2 break through to an even wider audience — have been in the service of a good cause, at Live Aid or during last summer's tour for Amnesty International. This is not, then, just a band for partying down. 'Partying is a disguise, isn't it?' Bono asks, and does not wait for an answer. This is a band that believes rock music has moral imperatives." |

| "How easy it was to assume that the attack must have come from outside. America may no longer be safe from imported terrorism, but we weren't supposed to grow it here at home. | In Oklahoma they're used to twisters, those ugly storms that arrive across the prairie to savage the towns, tear them apart and leave, tossing houses behind them. To live there means understanding that nature is not evil, only whimsical. Human nature, on the other hand, proved incomprehensible at 9:02 Wednesday morning. The blast came at the very height of the morning rush." |

| This week in 2002: Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones |  | The Apr. 29, 2002, cover of TIME |
| TIME |
| "Lucas, who will turn 58 two days before the movie opens, is given to fretting; he even worried that Phantom Menace would tank at the b.o. 'There's only one issue for a filmmaker,' he says. 'Will this make its money back so I can make the next one? With Phantom Menace, we didn't know. It didn't have Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher. It was not a slam dunk.' …Clones is the surest bet of the summer. Just in terms of mass appeal, the movie extends the franchise's target audience from 12-year-old boys (the action stuff) to 15-year-old girls (the smoochy scenes). If it works, Lucas has the Star Wars and Titanic markets in one package." |
