'A magical place': Hinchliffe Stadium, former Negro Leagues ballpark, being restored to its former glory

'A magical place': Hinchliffe Stadium, former Negro Leagues ballpark, being restored to its former glory Hinchliffe Stadium, one of only two ballparks still standing from the Negro Leagues, will be refurbished with an groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday.

A 20-year-forecast for the world: increasingly fragmented and turbulent.

In fact, we may look back on this period as the good old days.
An every-four-years report by the National Intelligence Council says the next two decades' trajectory depends on whether new tech unites us — or continues to divide.

The biggest trends in the U.S. government report are negative:

"Shared global challenges — including climate change, disease, financial crises, and technology disruptions — are likely to manifest more frequently and intensely in almost every region and country."
The U.S. will be competing with China for global leadership, while citizens of democracies and autocracies grow more dissatisfied with their leaders.
The clearest trend lines are in demographics: Over the next 20 years, richer countries will grow older and in some cases even begin to shrink. Whatever slowing population growth exists will be concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

That will produce "extensive strains on infrastructure, education, and healthcare" in megacities that aren't prepared for it.
What to watch: Should we experience something truly world-changing — a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, a pandemic worse than COVID, a leap forward to true artificial intelligence — all bets for the future are off.

The bottom line: The scarcest resource in the decades ahead won't be oil or rare earth metals, but social trust.

That's the way it was ... 40 years ago tonight

The late Walter Cronkite's last broadcast as anchor of the "CBS Evening News" was 40 years ago tonight.

Cronkite's final sign-off, at age 64: "This is but a transition — a passing of the baton. ... And that's the way it is — Friday, March 6, 1981. I'll be away on assignment and Dan Rather will be sitting in here for the next few years. Good night."
