In 2006, Florida voters showed overwhelming support for Article X, a state constitutional amendment that granted funding for a comprehensive tobacco education and prevention program. Article X would later birth Tobacco Free Florida, a hugely successful anti-tobacco campaign whose ads continue to make us cringe. If you haven’t seen the TV spots or billboards, the campaign uses graphic imagery — a girl drinking a beaker of formaldehyde, another girl peeling the skin from her cheek as payment for a pack of cigarettes and testimonials from cancer-stricken adults who were lifelong smokers — to drive home the message that a small action like smoking can harm yourself and others.
Two months ago, PBS’s “Frontline” chronicled the conception of the National Security Agency and how the institution continues to affect our daily lives in a must-see documentary called “United States of Secrets.” While watching this special, one automatically envisions the Orwellian future illustrated in “1984.”

I’m spending the summer in New York City for an internship and, being the foodie that I am, I mapped a strategic plan of restaurants I wanted to hit months in advance. The fun part about the city though, is stumbling across little known places that often have the best food. My roommate and I made a goal for the summer to eat like locals. That is, hit the places where you won’t mingle with models and celebrities, but can still get good food at a good price. I’ve only been here a little over a month, but I’ve already found a few hidden gems that are definitely worth sharing! If you’re ever in the city, do yourself a massive favor and tryout one of these three picks:
Summer is here, which means one thing: a new wardrobe! When I think of a summer wardrobe, I think of short denim shorts, tank tops and of course, flip flops. However, this image of “summer style” has been shelved this season.
