Last Friday was Mandela Day, an annual celebration of Nelson Mandela's birthday. What did he say about a free press? Is it essential for democracy? We examine his quote and analyze unsettling developments in the U.S., particularly the federal funding cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Plus: Why are activists ringing alarm bells about corruption in Ukraine? Who is in the U.S.-Venezuela prisoner swap? And, how does the White House feel about Israel's new strikes on Syria?
