Social trust

Every four years, the National Intelligence Council provides a forecast of the world for the next 20 years. In March 2021, the council released the latest National Intelligence Forecast. As we could have predicted, the next 20 years looks turbulent. It appears we are living in the best of times, and we need to enjoy our way of life while we can. The future of the world will hinge on whether we allow technology and social media to unite us or divide us. So far, as a society, we are failing in the area of unification.

Randall and another Carroll County man — Camden Boardman of Eureka Springs — helped save the life of a tanker truck driver after an accident July 1 on Highway 23 South near the Madison County line.
