        The Secret to Dolly Parton's Universal Appeal

        • Future Publishing - The Week - Vertical

        What makes Dolly Parton so universally adored? This clip from 'The Week Unwrapped' delves into why the country music legend is one of the most popular celebrities, comparing her appeal to figures like David Attenborough and the Queen.

        Ban on H-1B visas in schools goes too far | Dallas Morning News

          Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he plans to call for a ban on school districts employing anyone with an H-1B visa. This sweeping ban could harm students and schools, while doing little to address legitimate concerns about the visa program that allows companies to hire foreign workers for specialized jobs.
