Earlier this week, the Republican National Committee announced that its 2024 platform position on abortion would now mirror that of former President Trump’s presidential campaign.

Hurricane Beryl came through my area yesterday, dropping nearly five inches of rain and causing high wind gusts. It was much worse elsewhere—the earliest Category 4 and Category 5 hurricane on record killed at least three people and knocked out power to nearly three million homes and businesses in Texas after devastating islands in […]
Since 1938, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has followed two groups of men. One is a group of 456 boys from Boston’s most troubled families and roughest neighborhoods. The other consisted of 268 Harvard College students, chosen by a professor of hygiene specifically for their potential to become healthy, well-adjusted adults. The focus […]
