Trump at the UN and Other Hot-Button World Issues

Guest: Solomon Skolnick, Author, "The Great American Citizenship Quiz" In the past decade more than 6 million people have become naturalized citizens on the United Statesof America. To do so, they have to pass a citizenship quiz. Could you pass it? Do you know how many amendments there are to the US Constitution? Can you name one of the two longest rivers in the United States?  Can you name one of the writers of the “Federalist Papers”? Solomon Skolnick has recently published a new edition of “The Great American Citizenship Quiz,” which outlines all the questions and answers to the citizenship quiz. We reached out to him to ask him whether studying for this quiz really prepares people for US citizenship and whether most natural-born citizens have mastered this information.

It’s more than 160 stories. But there are skyscrapers being built right now in China and Saudi Arabia that will go even higher. At what point does the potential height of a building max out? Could a building go a mile high? There’s an entire organization dedicated to these questions called the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
