Not a fan of the man, but Picasso’s art is wow. Picasso and Paper is at Cleveland Museum of Art, its only stop in N. America, until March 23. Recommend.

Umm . . . just looking for simple travel information about what countries require visas or fees, and the State Department website only gives me broken links--even for simple stuff like "Traveler's Checklist." Could Marco Rubio get on this right away? It's making me very nervous.

No, the U.S. is not the only country with birthright citizenship. Here’s a map of them all, from the Library of Congress. I myself was born abroad to American parents and have dual citizenship.
