Inflation in the U.S. may have reached its peak. A big part of that is falling gas prices, which recently dipped back below the $4 per gallon mark. The price of crude oil is also on the decline, closing at just under $90 a barrel on Friday. Plus, a new phase in the search for habitable planets. And, a historic moment at the Iowa State Fair.
