Texas Standard For March 9, 2018
For the first time in history, a US president will meet with the leader of North Korea. Vindication of a strategy or something else? We’ll explore. And: an accused pedophile has his conviction thrown out because a judge used electric shock to coerce testimony. What happens to the judge? Nothing, so far. So who’s policing the bench? Also: A new vision for computing as Apple reaches out to visually impaired coders in Texas. Plus: Fangs for the memories: 60 years of the Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup. All that, and the week in politics from the Texas Tribune, and a whole lot more today on the Texas Standard:
