And: How public perceptions of the events of the past several days may well turn on word choice. Also: Some now say the time is right for a truth and reconciliation commission concerning race in America, we’ll look at how they’ve worked in North America in the past – and whether one could make a difference now. Plus: The week in politics with the Texas Tribune. Those stories and much more.
