I’ve been lucky to work with wonderful supervisors in a wonderful department. Jorge Cañizares and Jim Sidbury have challenged and supported me since my first semester at the University of Texas. Their generosity, knowledge, and wisdom have made me a far better historian and, I’d bet, a better human being. I simply can’t thank them enough, and I hope they know how proud I am to be their student. Many thanks as well to the other members of my dissertation committee—Bruce Hunt, Robert Olwell, and Christopher Morris—for devoting their time and expertise to this project. Jim Sidbury and Jackie Jones never let me down in their capacities as departmental Graduate Advisers, and Dr. Jones helped support me financially by hiring me as a graduate assistant right after we both arrived at UT in 2008.

Is there any truth to these claims? Sarah Ellison, contributing editor at Vanity Fair and author of "War at the Wall Street Journal," answers. After Univision announced this week that it would be acquiring Gawker Media properties for $135 million, Gawker.com announced it would cease to exist beginning next week. What are the broader implications of Peter Thiel's, lawsuit and where are the limits of free speech and personal privacy drawn? Ed Klaris, founding partner of Klaris Law and former general counsel of The New Yorker, weighs in. After an injection of cash and a few weeks of national unity, how will Brazil move forward after the 2016 Summer Olympic Games pack up and leave Rio? We speak with two Brazilians — Lúcia Guimarães, columnist and correspondent for the daily newspaper O Estado de São Paulo, and Marcelo Cortes Neri, Brazil's former Minister of Strategic of Affairs — about their visions for the future of their country.
