Good week, bad week: Times Square vendors, overly cautious bomb squad

The World

We join with The Week Magazine to take a look back at the best and the worst of last week. Following the foiled terrorist attempt in New York, the past seven days were pretty good for Times’ Square street vendors, but not so great for an overly cautious bomb squad in Lake Mary, Fla.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
