2/ I enjoyed learning about Ted Turner's legacy, not only as a media mogul but as an environmentalist, through interviews with his family members. R.I.P., Ted Turner.

1/ The birth control pill, approved in 1960, gave women more freedom to focus on a professional career and continue their education. More women delayed marriage and had children later in life.
