OPINION | While NASA, along with its international and commercial partners, is going pedal to the metal back to the moon, the space agency is not neglecting Mars.

OPINION | In America, you are more likely to have a chronic disease than not.
Three-quarters of adults in the U.S. have a chronic condition, and more than half grapple with two or more diagnoses. Many of the patients I treat in my primary care clinic in Chicago live with combinations of conditions like diabetes, cancer and dementia or asthma, high blood pressure and obesity. Chronic disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., and treating it costs billions of dollars a year.

A deal appears to be emerging between the United States and Iran to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz, and U.S. President Donald Trump over the weekend said it had been “largely negotiated.”
It is not clear when or how the deal might be finalized and when its various parts will take effect. Trump spoke after calls with allies in the Middle East, including a separate call with Israel. Details come from two regional officials and a U.S. official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive negotiations.
