Copeland talked with correspondent Steve Hartman about what it's like to save someone's life – and reunited with Sculli for the first time since their shared drama on the court.

America's second-largest employer fought hard against unionization efforts at its Staten Island, N.Y., warehouse. But "team members" there voted to unionize – an example of younger employees' interest in improved working conditions, and the increasing fortunes of labor collectives, despite corporations' union-busting tactics.

The German shoe company known for its ubiquitous sandals has lasted nearly 250 years.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (known as PFAS) are long-lasting compounds that are showing up in soil, ground water, drinking water sources, even rainfall, and have been linked to cancer, liver damage, thyroid disease, and other ailments.
