When Hollywood Ageism Hits Close to Home

And: revealing a family secret, dealing with friends who smoke indoors, and barking up the wrong tree.

"He Loves Me Not. But …
My boyfriend and I are 15. He just told me he’s gay and doesn’t think we should date anymore. I’m so sad. But I think we should continue dating, at least until he finds a boyfriend. You?
ANNIE
Don’t sell yourself short, Annie. I have been (almost) in your shoes, and I know how appealing it can be to (over) compromise to keep someone we care about close. I’m sorry you’re hurting. But I’m glad your boyfriend was honest with you. (This issue doesn’t get better with time.) And I feel confident, even if you don’t, that you will meet someone who will be attracted to all of you. Keep in touch if you want, O.K.?"

Soul of a Nation

There are two issues at stake in the Russia investigation: our nation’s sovereignty and our nation’s soul.

Wreckage of Last Known Slave Ship in U.S. May Have Been Found

A reporter in Alabama set out to find the remains of the Clotilda, which was set on fire in 1860 after bringing 110 slaves to the waters off Mobile, Ala.

Slavers were noted for their stench.
The "cargo" shat where they lay.
They often had to be carried off the slaver craft.
