- BREAKING NEWS: A bus carrying Israeli tourists in a Bulgarian tourist resort apparently exploded, killing three people and injuring at least 20, police confirmed.

As buzz in the media about who Mitt Romney's running mate will be hits a fever pitch, 74 percent of registered voters said that a candidate's VP choice matters a lot or somewhat. Twenty-six percent of registered voters said the choice matters a lot to their vote, while 48 percent said it matters somewhat. Twenty-five percent said it doesn't matter at all.
Meantime, three and a half months before election day, Republican enthusiasm about voting this year has shot up since Mitt Romney clinched the nomination in April, from 36 percent of Republicans saying they were more enthusiastic in March to 49 percent now. - An explosion inside the Syrian national security headquarters in Damascus targeted ministers from President Bashar Assad's regime who were meeting with defense officials on Wednesday, killing two of the most senior members of Assad's inner ...circle, including his brother-in-law.

The FSA/OWI pictures capture life in the U.S. (as well as Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands) at a time when the nation was evolving from the Depression Era to war mobilization.
Because some of the caption information for the pictures' subjects is sometimes incomplete, the Library invites viewers to send in their comments and, if possible, identifying information.
