A Call to Action
Since he left office in 1981, President Jimmy Carter has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, founded a center to address global public policy and written 28 books. He considers his latest one the most important he's ever written. It's called "A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power." ABC's Steve Osunsami met up with President Carter in Atlanta to get the details.
Receiving the Medal of Honor
Last week, former Army Sergeant Kyle White was recognized by President Obama with the Medal of Honor. White received the nation's highest award for military valor after risking his life in Afghanistan to save the life of former Specialist Kain Schilling. During a four-hour battle, White was wounded, incurred two concussions and ran through direct enemy fire multiple times. He and Specialist Schilling sit down with ABC News Chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl to tell us more.
Going Gluten-Free
People who suffer from Celiac disease are unable to eat gluten without damaging their digestive tract. But there are others who avoid gluten for entirely different reasons. Going gluten-free has celebrity advocates, legions of fans and a multi-billion dollar industry, but is giving it up actually a good thing for most people? ABC's Terry Moran fills us in on the details.
A Magic Pill?
What if there was one pill that could radically suppress your appetite and help shed pounds? It sounds like a classic "too good to be true" scenario, but some say it's the real deal. There is a catch though. You have to go abroad to get it. From ABC's partner network Fusion, here's investigative correspondent Marianna van Zeller.
A Seller's Market
The American dream of home ownership is becoming tougher to attain. Mortgage requirements have tightened up for 20-14 and bidding wars are becoming more prevalent as the housing market makes it's way back from the depths of the recession. ABC's Bianna Golodryga tagged along with one family going to extremes to find a home.
Angelina Jolie
There are few women more powerful and prominent in Hollywood than Angelina Jolie. We hear about her health and family life so often it's surprising it's been four years since her last film. Now she's opening up to ABC's George Stephanopoulos about her new role and an unconventional wedding idea proposed by her kids.
Aladdin on Broadway
Aladdin captured the hearts of children across the country more than 20 years ago. Now, the prince of thieves is taking a turn on Broadway. Will fans flock to see this cartoon prince come to life? ABC's Elizabeth Vargas brings us a look behind the scenes.
