Remembering James Gandolfini
The Sopranos was one of the most honored television series' ever, starring James Gandolfini as a New Jersey mob boss. But this week Gandolfini died of an apparent heart attack while on vacation in Italy. He was only 51 years old. ABC's Terry Moran takes a look back at the life and work of the Emmy-winning actor.
General John Allen
This week Afghan forces assumed responsibility for the security of their country. American and coalition troops will no longer plan, execute or lead combat missions in Afghanistan. Retired General John Allen was the commander of all forces there. He and his wife, Kathy Allen, sat down with ABC News Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz to discuss the sacrifices of the Afghan war.
"Dirty Wars"
Jeremy Scahill is an investigative reporter for the Nation magazine and the author of a new book titled "Dirty Wars." The book, along with a documentary of the same name, details what he calls the dark side of US counterterrorism operations. ABC's Reena Ninan and Olivier (oh-live-ee-ay) Knox from our partner Yahoo News sat down with Scahill to learn more.
Trip Advisor
Trip Advisor has become one of the premier websites for swapping travel advice, virtually transforming the vacation industry. For many, it's taken the place of information and advice formerly doled out by travel agents. Here's ABC's Linzie Janis.
Sneakerheads
You used to be able to buy a decent pair of sneakers for around 30 dollars, but those days are long gone. In their place is a culture where high-priced *kicks* mean status, power and big-time bucks to a select group of devoted collectors. More from ABC's Darren Rovell.
Lunchtime Lipo
There's one man in Los Angeles with a special machine he says can make fat disappear in time for tomorrow night's date. But does this speed surgery actually work? Here's ABC's Juju Chang.
David Gandy
When it comes to supermodels, names like Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum, and Naomi Campbell probably come to mind. But what about male supermodels? The number of men in the fashion industry to reach that status are few and far between, but David Gandy is hoping to change that. Here's ABC's Amy Robach.
