World Press 2012 photo of the year.
The brief history of the Arab Spring is rich in images: its demonstrations, its toppled leaders, its fallen youth.
This image -- captured by photographer Samuel Aranda in Yemen -- portrays an unusual moment of intimacy: a young, shirtless man is cradled in the arms of a veiled woman, who is covered head-to-toe in the niqab. It is the World Press Photo of the Year for 2012.

Republican on Gay Marriage
Every once in a while we hear a politician speak from their heart. When that rare event happens, it's impossible not to be moved.
That happened Wednesday in Washington's State legislature. Republican representative Maureen Walsh, from Walla Walla, waded into a contentious and partisan debate about gay marriage, and revealed why she was going against the party line.
The Washington legislature has since voted to legalize gay marriage.

Malcolm X recovered.
It was a simple university assignment: use the school's archives to dig up something interesting -- anything -- and write about it.
So Brown University student Malcolm Burnley dug. And he found found something interesting, alright: the kind of thing that guarantees you an A-plus. He discovered audio of a speech by Malcolm X that had been lost for fifty years.
If the excerpt from Malcolm X in the interview got you wanting to hear more of the newly recovered audio, more segments can be heard below. This is not the complete audio of the speech, but does provide a good overview of this historic find.
