ALMANAC: August 11
“Sunday Morning” looks back at historical events on this date.
NATURE: Horseshoe crabs: Ancient creatures who are a medical marvel
Correspondent Conor Knighton visits New Jersey beaches along the Delaware Bay to learn about horseshoe crabs – mysterious creatures that predate dinosaurs – whose very blood has proved vital to keeping humans healthy by helping detect bacterial endotoxins. He talks with environmentalists about the decline in the horseshoe crab population, and with researchers who are pushing the pharmaceutical industry to switch its use of horseshoe crab blood with a synthetic alternative used in medical testing.
MUSIC: Post Malone on success, loneliness, and making his audience know they’re loved
He’s one of the biggest pop stars in the world, yet Post Malone’s new album, “F-1 Trillion”, features his duets with some of the biggest names in country, including Luke Combs, Blake Shelton, Morgan Wallen and Dolly Parton. Correspondent Anthony Mason visits Malone in Nashville to talk about his acceptance among country music fans; how he dealt with being called a “one-hit wonder” following his debut with the 2015 hip hop smash “White Iverson”; and how he recovered from a downward spiral that he experienced in the midst of his success.
BOOKS: James Baldwin at 100
A century after his birth in Harlem, the writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin is being celebrated for his visionary work, and for the many facets of his personality – Black, gay, playwright, essayist, New Yorker, expatriate – that transformed him into an iconic figure in the civil rights movement, even beyond his death in 1987 at age 63.
