Tina Turner - Indelible voice

WHEN TINA TURNER DIED May 24 at 83, many remembered her as the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. But the chart-topping hit for which she will perhaps be most remembered isn't a rock song.

How everyday Iranians backed the revolt

Revolutions do not happen only in the streets. Yet the outside world knows the uprising in Iran almost entirely through footage uploaded from camera phones-the thousands upon thousands chanting for the fall of the regime in cities and towns across the country, and the regime answering with batons and shotguns.

Powerful stories of frontline communities' climate solutions can change the world

When you're trying to persuade people to do something important, you can present statistics, policy statements, graphs, and spreadsheets. But without a story that paints a picture of what's at stake, touches the heartstrings, and sparks the imagination to envision possibilities, it's hard to move people to take action. One formula for accelerating transformational change is to amplify the right message from the right messenger at the right moment in time.

America's life - expectancy map
