SCOOP: Gotham City Takes Center Stage
Three things to know regardless of what we see, hear or learn in the expected arraignment of former President Trump in New York City. And why we should all beware the symbiotic relationship between "The Press" and the former President. Is there more than meets the eye with a sudden cut in oil production by major oil producing countries? We take a look at higher prices you may face. Meanwhile, Russia arrests an American journalist; the Wall Street Journal calls it "hostage diplomacy." What to know and why it matters. Why we should watch America's famous burger chain, McDonalds, ahead of a jobs report on Friday. Speaking of fries...should we all just do away with egg-dye for Easter and pick-up potatoes? You be the judge! .

SCOOP: WHAT KEEPS THE PEACE?
As we turn the page to a new season on the first day of Spring, we have lingering reminders of the past and a critical question: What keeps the peace? Will a historic meeting between the leaders of China and Russia lead to a breakthrough in Ukraine? Will a "forced marriage" of two banks lead to stability in the global financial system? Will a former President find himself under arrest or exonerated as the U.S. presidential cycle heats up?

SCOOP: "The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword"
A familiar quote helped inspire a new member of our SmartHER News family - SCOOP members get an exclusive "introduction." . The famous saying also resonates this week as we reflect on two big news stories - an exclusive by The Wall Street Journal on new revelations about the pandemic (and the waterfall of words from U.S. officials on China) as well as a new policy penned by the Biden Administration proposed for the U.S. Southern border. Both stories raise the question: Why now? What's at stake? Plus a personal reflection about entrepreneurship. We look forward to your thoughts on a recent chapter in the adventures of becoming...SmartHER. .
