RUNNING.

The track will get a boost next week with the release of the accompanying music video.'
MARIJUANA. Support for legalization hits new high: “Sixty-five percent of Americans now think marijuana should be legal — a record high in CBS News polling.

Many opponents of legalization, however, think it leads to a rise in crime and most favor the federal government taking action to stop the sale of pot in states where it is currently legal.”
AFTERLIFE. Luke Perry buried in a mushroom suit.
RICHARD GREEN. Psychiatrist who argued that being gay is not a disorder dies at 82: ‘Green died of esophageal cancer April 6 at his home in London, his son, Adam Hines-Green, told The New York Times. In 1972, early in his career, Green wrote an article in The International Journal of Psychiatry taking issue with “the premise that homosexuality is a disease or a homosexual is inferior.” The following year, the American Psychiatric Association dropped homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.'
