    FGCU TheatreLab produces Wilder's 'Skin of Our Teeth' as part of America250 celebration
    Tom Hall
    Thornton Wilder is one of America’s most celebrated playwrights. He won three Pulitzer Prizes: one for his 1927 novel, “The Bridge of San Luis Rey,” and the others for his plays “Our Town” and “The Skin of Our Teeth.” Wilder wrote “The Skin of Our Teeth” shortly after the United States entered World War II, and it’s a satirical allegory of Americans’ and the whole human race’s indomitable will to survive. It's a poignant slice of Americana and the perfect production to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

    States scramble to send full SNAP food benefits to millions of people after government shutdown ends
    The Associated Press
    State officials are working to restore full SNAP benefits to millions of people after the long U.S. government shutdown has finally ended. Some state officials said Thursday that full November SNAP benefits should be available to spend on groceries by Friday, if not sooner. A series of court rulings and shifting policies from the Trump administration had led to inconsistent distribution of November benefits. About two-thirds of states had issued only partial or no benefits before the shutdown ended Wednesday night. The federal food program serves about 42 million people in lower-income households.
