How The Olympics Have Ravaged Rio, In 6 Photographs
The British photographer Giles Price took to the skies to show the social and environmental impact Olympic construction has had on the city.
In July 2015, one year before the Olympic Games that will begin in Rio de Janeiro next month, the Associated Press conducted a five-month-long investigation into the "chronically polluted" water where some of the events will take place. What the AP described in an impressively reported 2,500 words, the British photographer Giles Price presents in a single image.

Why Hillary Clinton Is So Hard To Trust Even When She's Telling The Truth
Clinton might be more trustworthy than many think, but the more we look for signs that she's lying, the worse we become at finding them.
