Texas Standard for June 24, 2015
We don’t pay ransoms to hostage takers – that’s the longtime U.S. policy. But today, the hardline softens. Also: An accidental economic stimulus package for the poorest county in Texas. Plus: Teen pregnancies in Texas, and why researchers know more than teens may think And: Why your dumb old clunker could soon become a smart car – or at least, pretty clever. Those stories, and lots more, on the national news show of Texas.
