We meet Maj Gen Gale Pollock, who helped break the glass ceiling in the US Army. Then, the story of 'Ashley’s War'. And, the Yellowstone firing range that is catering to Chinese tourists. Plus, the next female MacGyver, a bagel renaissance in Lithuania, and the rise of the Filipino-American DJ. (Photo: A 2011 photo of first Lt Emille Prosko, of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team.
