## Resource

Stephen fixed Red Lobster’s new “Endless Shrimp” commercial, President Trump claimed he would have won the Vietnam war “very quickly,” and Spirit airlines could go out of business as the war against Iran roils the global energy supply. “This war did not have to be fought" says former Secretary of State John Kerry, who offers his expert perspective on Iran’s nuclear program and the goals President Trump’s team should pursue as they negotiate to end the war. Best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson’s latest book, “Take Me To Your Leader: Perspectives On Your First Alien Encounter,” is intended as an instruction manual to prepare Earth’s residents for contact with life from outer space.
