Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Do you remember lounge? No matter if you don't, for it wasn't much good: cocktails and crooners, mainly.
The craze also inspired a couple of terrific cash-in compilations of jazz and smooch from the Warner and Atlantic vaults, all compiled by Florence Halfon. Now, probably as part of another, presumably Mad Men-related, cash-in, they've put the original five CDs in a slipcase for a bargain £12 or so. There's a pic of Bettie Page on the cover, natch. PJ
