At Arlington Public News, we bring you stories of interest to Arlington and surrounding communities. In tonight’s newscast, we feature a visit with Arlington’s own Mildred Dresselhaus, a celebrated physicist and professor emeritus at MIT. To a long list of awards and accomplishments, the 84-year-old has recently added the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. We also look at prospects coming out of the recent thaw in U.S.-Cuban relations. And we examine the current state of America’s prison system in an interview with Maya Schenwar, author of “Locked Down, Locked Out.” That and more coming up next – please stay with us.
