Want to hear something cool? Western Europe uses blue emergency lights for police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks. Not red. Not red-and-blue like in the U.S. Just blue. The reason goes back to World War...

One of my other enjoys besides running is NASCAR. It’s the off-season now, but the sport is more interesting than ever. Why? Two race teams — one of them co-owned by Michael Jordan — are...
