On this day in 1977, Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" reached No. 1 on the US chart. Written by Stevie Nicks in about 10 minutes, it remains the band's only Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper.

In 1978, a student working a summer job at minimum wage could earn enough to cover an entire year of in-state tuition at a four-year public university, often without needing to take on debt.

In 1978, a student earning the federal minimum wage could realistically pay for an entire year of in-state tuition at a public four-year university with a typical summer job. With minimum wage set at $2.65 per hour and average annual tuition and required fees around $688, a student working 40 hours a week for 12 weeks could earn about $1,272 before taxes—more than enough to cover tuition and still have money left for books, transportation, and other expenses.

That reality has largely disappeared. While the federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 per hour for years, average in-state tuition and fees at public four-year universities have climbed to roughly $11,000 annually. Covering tuition alone at minimum wage would now require more than 1,500 hours of work before taxes, the equivalent of nearly 38 weeks of full-time employment—far beyond what a student could earn during a normal summer break.

Firefighters and police officers stood in the pouring rain along Albany Street in Boston last night to honor fallen firefighter Bobby Kilduff during the dignified transfer of his body after he was killed in the line of duty in Dorchester.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

Great start from Phillies Ace Zack Wheeler last night. He only gave up one run in 6 innings and had 8 strikeouts. He has looked good in his return to the rotation and has a 2.45 ERA. The Phillies starters are turning in around. https://t.co/VsnetKojfH
