What is there a shortage of? Find out in the NPR news quiz (hint: it's not smoke)

El Niño is here! And ready to make summer and the dregs of spring even hotter and drier. That's not great for Canada, which spent this week exporting a commodity no one wants: wildfire smoke, now polluting a swath of the United States.

An earlier version of this quiz said the Supreme Court upheld a 1986 provision of the Voting Rights Act. In fact, the act was amended in 1982 and the Supreme Court made a precedent-setting ruling in 1986.
