Jazz critic MARTIN JOHNSON reviews the new album by Cecil McLorin Salvant, “With Every Breath I Take.”

We remember DOLLY PARTON, singer, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur and philanthropist. PARTON died yesterday in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old. Dolly Parton made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry in 1959 when she was just 13. Since then, she wrote thousands of songs, including "Coat of Many Colors," "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," which was later a hit for Whitney Houston. PARTON was one of the few performers who was successful enough to start her own theme park.

Veteran national security correspondent JOBY WARRICK, whose new book profiles a terrorist of the 1970’s and 80’s who became so famous for his brazen attacks and playboy lifestyle that once, when he was releasing hostages from a hijacked airplane, several asked him for his autograph. His new book is The Jackal: The Rise and Fall of Carlos, the World’s First Super Terrorist. Warrick, whose last book Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS earned a Pulitzer Prize, believes there are lessons to learn from the life and crimes of his new subject, a notorious figure from the early days of modern terrorism.
