A Look Ahead

BBC World Service - Boston Calling, A Look Ahead

The personal archive of Colombian literary giant Gabriel García Márquez goes to Texas.

We hear about Gabriel García Márquez’s personal archive, which has been acquired by the University of Texas. Plus, we learn about a new virtual reality tool that brings news stories to life, and a project that crowdsources local solutions in the fight against climate change.

Also, we consider the future of the American space programme, the US Navy prepares its Laser Weapon System for battle, and how the greenhouse expertise of the Dutch made one US grower an orchid powerhouse.
