Some six million Texans are one health emergency away from financial ruin, and the state of affairs in Dallas County isn't any better. Nearly 30 percent of its residents are uninsured.

NBC5. Note: Jump to the :35 mark for the dancing. First, a question: why do people in leadership positions in Dallas feel its a good idea to dance in public? Because it's not. You would think they would have learned that after this video, which was apparently so embarrassing it...
In his filmmaking debut, journalist David France assembles a thoroughly reported chronicle of ACT UP's most vital era, from the direct-action group's founding in 1987 (six years into the AIDS epidemic) through 1995.

Our local fashion designers spend their lives toiling over pleats and hemlines. It's often a thanklessly driven mission. Long nights fine-tuning each stitch results in little payback unless the market drive exists to purchase those looks, and it should. Dallas is bursting at the seams with talent. This Sunday, July...
