Press Play with Madeleine Brand
The University Fundraising Race USC raised more than $700 million in 2014 according to a new report out this week. That puts the school behind only Harvard and Stanford when it comes to raising money. Harvard, in fact, had a record-setting year - they added more than $1 billion to their already fat endowment in 2014, and passed Stanford in fundraising for the first time since 2004. But what do colleges do with all that cash? And what about all the schools that don’t have the same base as the Harvards, Stanfords and USCs?

Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Why is Trump so behind on filling staff jobs, establishing concrete policies? Yesterday Donald Trump signed a “decision memo” to revamp the air traffic control system. But there was little legislative detail in the plan. There’s not much to other splashy announcements from the White House, including tax cuts and the arms deal with Saudi Arabia. And hundreds of positions are unfilled in federal agencies.
