And: An update on families separated at the border: what’s the state of the reunion? Plus: Active duty and breastfeeding: challenges for military moms. Also: Mattress Firm? Soft numbers lead to a hard landing for a ubiquitous Texas-based retailer, billions in debt. And the cult of the machine: a Dallas museum shows how our fascination and fears about the scientific age reshaped our landscape. All that and more, today on the Texas Standard.
