/

In 2019, Susan Bowlus got a text from a friend that caught her off guard. “I’ve been watching the coverage on the Golden State Killer,” her friend wrote, referring to the California serial killer who’d been arrested in 2018. The killer’s name was Joseph DeAngelo, a cop-turned-criminal who’d broken into homes to rape and kill […]

It was June 2022—Covid-19 cases were surging—and Njagi and his […]

The Survivor

/

Three years ago, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority enabled states to severely restrict abortion or ban it outright. Since then, 17 states have enacted such limits; infant and maternal mortality have risen in many of them. But the impact of overturning Roe v. Wade extends far beyond medical catastrophes. It […]

Inside the Curious, and Dangerous, World of US Military Museums

/

It’s Memorial Day weekend, and I’m hung over in the hull gunner of an M36 Jackson tank. This green, mean fighting machine once killed its fair share of Nazis. Decades later, its engine still roars with a fresh ferocity, though its cannon is a couple of firing pins short of battle-ready. That’s fine by me. […]

But, Ortiz thought, it was just $25. And she needed a new sweater. […]

Why is Everybody Hating on Richie Rich?

/

For kids like me, who grew up in the 1960s and ’70s, comics were a big deal. Our media landscape otherwise consisted mainly of books and records, commercial radio, and, in my family’s case, a small black-and-white TV with a coat hanger antenna that got four staticky channels. So we periodically raided our piggy banks […]

Anatomy of an Extinction

/

Late in September, as Hurricane Helene struck the Southeast, Wally Smith immediately thought of the salamanders. Of course, he fretted over the safety of his parents, brother, and extended family in the path of the storm in the north Georgia mountains, but he couldn’t help but worry about the amphibians in harm’s way, too. As […]
