This week, the April 8 total solar eclipse inspired Barbie-level coverage mania at NPR.

To make it into the "path of totality," humans are persisting in the face of flight delays and traffic to have transcendent experiences and forge lifelong memories, perhaps by taking phone photos and avoiding eye damage. So grab your eclipse glasses and/or heed the words of a 104-year-old man who saw the 1932 total eclipse: "All I can say is that it was pretty near dark."

In the name of not further saturating the eclipse content lineup, the quiz has only one eclipse question (unless you count the "singer" eclipsed by Beyoncé). Good luck!

    Susie Wiles, White House chief of staff, criticizes Bondi and opines on Trump in Vanity Fair
    The Associated Press
    White House chief of staff Susie Wiles is criticizing Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and broadly defending Donald Trump's second presidency in a series of interviews published Tuesday. Wiles told Vanity Fair that Bondi mismanaged the Epstein case with talk about a "client list" sitting on her desk. On Venezuela, Wiles says Trump will continue to be aggressive, and she also is defending Trump's retribution against people he perceives as political enemies. After the story was published, Wiles disparaged it as a "disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history." She did not deny the quotes that were attributed to her.
