Arkansas doctor sheds light on recent surge of pneumonia cases
SUMMARY: As virus season approaches, Arkansas is seeing an unexpected surge in pneumonia cases, with 39 deaths reported last week. Pediatricians highlight an atypical strain of pneumonia, known as Walking Pneumonia, which presents milder symptoms such as persistent cough and low-grade fever, often going unnoticed. Healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of handwashing, staying home when ill, and consulting doctors, as pneumonia is a bacterial infection requiring treatment. While flu and COVID-19 cases remain low, the Arkansas Department of Health notes zero flu or COVID-19 deaths in the past week, marking a stark contrast to the pneumonia situation.
Last week, 39 Arkansans have died from pneumonia. One Arkansas doctor says people could be infected without even realizing it.

Grant Hardin used black marker & soup can to create disguise that allowed his escape
SUMMARY: Grant Hardin, a convicted murderer, rapist, and former police officer, escaped a medium-security prison in Arkansas using a disguise he crafted from kitchen materials. He dyed a shirt with a black marker, fashioned a makeshift badge from a soup can, Bible cover, and button, and used an apron as a bulletproof vest. The escape, lasting 12 days in the woods, revealed serious staff failures: a kitchen worker let Hardin unsupervised for over an hour, and a guard left a gate open unattended. Two prison employees were fired, but lawmakers remain unsatisfied. Hardin’s threat level was reportedly too low for his offenses, prompting ongoing investigations.

Re-live the Beatles epic 1964 tour stop in Cincinnati
SUMMARY: The Beatles’ 1964 Cincinnati tour stop featured lively interactions and candid remarks. The band discussed their trip, politics—expressing skepticism about Goldwater—and addressed rumors about being banned in the U.S., dismissing them as baseless. They talked about novelty merchandise like mugs but denied inventing such items. The Beatles shared impressions of American movie stars like Burt Lancaster and Gordon, describing encounters as mixed but mostly positive. Their unique hairstyles were playfully explained as natural. The clip captures the group’s playful, down-to-earth nature amid their historic U.S. visit, blending humor, music, and cultural observations.
The Beatles came to Cincinnati to play a show in August 1964 as part of a 25-city North American tour. In this rare footage, see John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr as they land at the airport to the delight of throngs of die-hard fans. The Fab Four also chatted with local media about whether they should be banned, what they knew about the upcoming presidential election and how they felt about American movie stars.
