TOP STORIES

-------------------

VIRUS OUTBREAK-THE HUNGER — Before the coronavirus pandemic, food policy experts say roughly one out of every eight or nine Americans struggled to afford food. Now some say as many as one out of every four are projected to join the ranks of the hungry as millions lose their jobs. Among them are Janeth and Roberto, an immigrant couple on the outskirts of the nation’s capital who regularly skip meals to ensure their 5-year-old daughter has enough to eat.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-VACCINE RACE — About 100 research groups around the world are pursuing vaccines against the coronavirus, with nearly a dozen in early stages of human trials or poised to start. It’s a crowded field, but researchers say that only increases the odds that a few might overcome the many obstacles that remain. At the same time, policymakers are devising plans to help compress the years it usually takes to develop a vaccine. SENT: 1,500 words, photos, video.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-GIVE ME SPACE — Americans are returning to public life bit by bit and place by place. But what of our institutions, the physical spaces where we congregate? Schools, offices, places of worship; town squares and public parks; nursing homes, college campuses and, of course, hospitals. These are the places that form the shape of American life. Can you reopen a society without its institutions at full capacity, without public spaces available for congregation? While the world we are emerging into might appear the same, it is, in many ways, different — and changing by the day. By Ted Anthony. SENT: 1,190 words, photos. This story has an abridged version.

VIRUS-OUTBREAK - There are signs the coronavirus pandemic is easing significantly in some hard-hit parts of Europe but is getting worse in India and Russia. Meanwhile, the U.S. has seen only a slight drop in reported new cases but the pressure to reopen keeps building amid the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. As Italy prepared to reopen parks and public gardens from Monday, health officials reported 174 deaths, the lowest number since a national lockdown began.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-NATIONAL TRAUMAS — National traumas or major convulsions have been familiar territory in the latter 20th and early 21st centuries for some countries currently ravaged by the coronavirus. Same story for some who have been so far relatively unscathed by the pandemic. Whether by ruinous wars, invasions, civil wars, revolutions, terror attacks, assassinations or natural disasters, mass deaths and distress have shaped nations and their psyches. Dealing with the aftermath of the human devastation wrought by the virus will be another seismic chapter in some painful journeys. By Tamer Fakahany. SENT: 820 words, photos.

VIRUS OUTBREAK-TUITION LAWSUITS -- Students at more than 25 U.S. universities are filing lawsuits against their schools demanding partial refunds on tuition and fees, saying online learning because of the coronavirus is not providing the caliber of education they were promised.

MARTIN LUTHER KING’S TRAFFIC STOP — On this day 60 years ago, a black man driving a white woman was pulled over in a traffic stop that would change the course of American history. That man was Martin Luther King Jr., and his misdemeanor citation on May 4, 1960, led to him being sentenced, illegally, to a chain gang. Georgia’s segregationist politicians sought to silence King before he could mobilize great masses of people. But it backfired when John F. Kennedy got involved, days before the 1960 presidential election. Black voters switched from Republican to Democrat in huge numbers, hastening the end of race laws across the South.
