John Lennon, Yoko Ono and the Year Canada Was Cool
John Lennon was the world's biggest rock star in the late Sixties. With his new wife Yoko Ono, the duo were icons of the peace movement denouncing the Vietnam War. In 1969, at the height of their popularity, they headed to Canada. Canada was already a politically charged place. In 1968, Pierre Elliott Trudeau rode a wave of popularity dubbed Trudeaumania for its similarities to the Beatlemania of the era.

Lost Ski Areas of the Southern Adirondacks
The Adirondack region has long been a favorite of skiers, as its beautiful mountains and deep snow cover provide it with the perfect landscape. Downhill ski areas developed during the Great Depression, when New Yorkers looked for an affordable escape to beat the winter blues. Over the coming decades, ski areas expanded with new lifts, lodges and trails. Despite the popularity of the sport, many ski areas have disappeared, yet countless people still hold fond memories of them.

LEBRON - Die große Biografie des NBA-Superstars
LeBron James ist nicht nur der unbestrittene Superstar der US-Profiliga NBA, sondern auch erfolgreicher Unternehmer und Werbeikone. Er ist bekannt für sein politisches Engagement gegen Rassismus und soziale Ungerechtigkeit, ist eng mit Barack Obama befreundet und hat sich mehrfach öffentlich mit Donald Trump angelegt.
