Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Dr. Volodymyr Yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher, journalist, author and President of PEN Ukraine. According to Dr Yermolenko, the war is not simply a military confrontation, Europe's future hangs in the balance. Speaking hours after a devastating missile attack on Kyiv, he juxtaposes the intimate experience of civilian vulnerability with a broader strategic analysis, arguing that Russia's continued attacks on residential areas reflect military frustration rather than momentum. He contends that Ukraine's comparative advantage lies in asymmetric warfare, technological innovation, and the mobilisation of civil society, while warning that European support is not merely an act of solidarity but a matter of continental self-preservation.

The novel and the short story have long been the bread and butter of the Western genre. Plenty of your favorite on-screen Old West tales have spawned directly from or been inspired by them, and now it's time for Hollywood to look to the page once more. Now that Taylor Sheridan 's Yellowstone Universe has evolved beyond the creator himself, it's time for "America's Storyteller" to finally get his due on the small screen. We're, of course, talking about famed pulp Western author Louis L'Amour , who penned an impressive catalog of novels in his day. But for the best book to start with for a new made-for-TV franchise, we'd have to go with The Daybreakers , the first published installment of his popular series of novels revolving around the Sackett family.

This Mustang was unveiled at the New York World’s Fair in 1964.

15 million people visited the display at the Mustang’s launch.

You can see it at Union Station in D.C. through the middle of July.

A 1965 Ford Mustang convertible has become just the 38th car inducted into the National Historic Vehicle Register, and it earns the spot on the strength of a backstory most Mustangs can’t touch. This one was there at the very beginning, and then it went somewhere no other pony car did.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f");

}

});

The convertible was one of 12 Mustangs Ford put on display at the New York World’s Fair on April 17, 1964, the day the pony car made its global debut. Beyond simply sitting on the show floor for attendees, this car was modified to run on Walt Disney’s special transit system, set on tracks and pressed into service for 12-minute rides around the pavilion.

Ford estimates that as many as 15 million people passed through the Ford Pavilion during the New York World’s Fair, a young Jay Leno among them. It was the ideal stage for the Mustang, and Ford timed the reveal to coincide with airtime bought on three major TV networks, all pushing the car and its $2,368 starting price.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

} else{

adpushup.triggerAd("44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a");

}

});

Adjusted for inflation, that figure works out to $25,681.92 today. The current 2026 Mustang starts at $32,995 for the four-cylinder EcoBoost coupe and $40,440 for the convertible running the same engine.

The reception to the Mustang was astonishing. In just two years, more than a million units were sold, with 43 percent of them going to women.

This particular 1965 Mustang convertible is painted in Wimbledon White and, after its launch in New York, was sold. It’s now owned by Texas man Sam Pack, and while being added to the National Historic Vehicle Register, it will be laser scanned, photographed, and a written report will be entered into the Library of Congress.

On Display To Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary

If you live in Washington, D.C., or are planning to visit, you could see this very Mustang up close. Until July 14, it will be displayed as part of the ‘Driving America Forward: A Ford Experience’ display in the Main Hall of Union Station. The free exhibition includes a slew of iconic Ford models, including the 15 millionth and final Model T built, a 1928 Ford Model A Roadster, a 1934 Ford Pickup owned by Jay Leno, and a 1956 Ford Thunderbird, among others.
