WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says it would be a mistake to assume he wouldn't be willing to use military force, if that's what circumstances require.

His comment came in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press."
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's sanitation department has its very own anthropologist-in-residence. New York University professor Robin Nagle is a garbage guru who studies the refuse along the curbs. Nagle spent almost a year getting her hands dirty alongside sanitation workers. She calls them New York's "most important uniformed force." She says the city's garbage reflects "a throwaway culture that's going too fast."
