What It Was Like to Witness the World ’s First Self-Sustained Nuclear Chain Reaction
Scientists achieved the first self-sustained nuclear chain reaction 75 years ago on Dec. 2, 1942, on an underground squash court beneath the University of Chicago’s Stagg Field. The brains behind the discovery was Enrico Fermi, a leader of the Manhattan Project who had won the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for work that led to the discovery of nuclear fission. Below is a narrative of that fateful day, from David N. Schwartz’s new biography of Fermi, The Last Man Who Knew Everything: On the morning of Wednesday, December 2, 1942, Chicago was in the grip of a cold snap.

Tom Petty ’s Wisdom and Will Transformed American Music Forever
Tom Petty, who passed away on Tuesday at 66, felt like part of the rock firmament in a way that was different from your Pauls, your Micks, your Anguses. Both solo and with his storming backing band The Heartbreakers, Petty specialized in a loose-limbed style of rock that grooved as it felt utterly human, with Petty’s wizened voice, full of wisdom even when it was recounting the simplest boy-loses-girl yarns, leading the way. His formidable catalog, which spans the biting “Refugee” and the dreamy “Free Fallin’,” the sardonic “Into the Great Wide Open” and the gently menacing &...

The Las Vegas Shooting Suspect Was Found Dead With a Lot of Guns
For suspected shooter Stephen Paddock to carry out the deadliest shooting in modern American history, he likely needed a powerful gun.

Nancy Pelosi Gets Shut Down by Young Immigrants Over DACA Deal
(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) — Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the U.S. House, said she understands the fears of young immigrants after they shouted her down Monday at an event where she planned to drum up support for legislation that would grant legal status to immigrants like them. “We’re in this fight to win for the dreamers, when it’s easier and when it’s harder,” she told reporters later after a similar — but quieter — event in Sacramento. “Dreamers” is a nickname used for young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children or by parents who overstayed vi...
