 Anduril Industries co-founder and Oculus inventor Palmer Luckey spills the beans on how the H1B visa system operates and why reform is a hard sell. 

 Richard Holmes did not choose to integrate Mississippi State University on July 19, 1965, lightly; he seriously reflected on the fates of those who had gone before him at previously all-white Mississippi universities. But he came anyway.

One problem cities face in Mississippi as they fight blight is absentee landlords, especially those who hide their identities behind shell companies.   Tired of such landlords, Jackson is piercing the secrecy veil as it goes after the owners of the infamous Chapel Ridge Apartments in South Jackson.
