Texas Standard For April 10, 2018
A case of clerical error? A peer-reviewed journal questions conventional wisdom on the record-setting number of maternal deaths in Texas. And: Are budget cuts causing more U..S military flyers to lose their lives? A first-of-its-kind investigation connects the dots between cutbacks and crashes. Also: Lubbock is drawing national attention, post-Parkland, for what may be a revolutionary way to spotlight mental health needs among students. Plus: The “decade of malaise” they called it. What do the 70s have to do with Donald Trump? A presidential scholar says more than we might think. Grab your platform shoes and crank up that Hi-fi….because it’s time for the national news show of Texas.
