Morning Brief: September 23
Unless you're living under a rock, you probably know Pope Francis is visiting the United States right now, and tomorrow he's landing in New York for a 2-day visit. It's obviously a huge deal--luckily the city is used to handling events like this, so while security is stepped up, you'll probably be able to get around all right.
