“If all the raindrops were lemon drops, and… bomb drops?” My 6-year-old couldn’t quite remember all of the song she had learned in school, but this didn’t sound quite right to her. Nor did it sound right to me — this morbid version of “lemon drops and gumdrops” made me freeze in place. I suppose I cannot completely shield my children from the world’s news.

In the era of culture wars and ideologically driven strife, belief in good faith communication has waned.

When I was in Los Angeles last summer, I took the Scientology personality test at the famed Church of Scientology Information Center building right on Hollywood Boulevard.

In late November 2021, Ruben Mesalles sat on the couch in a Solis apartment next to his captain, Eliot Hamill. St. Louis had just punched Duke men’s soccer in its home Koskinen Stadium, taking a 4-3 victory that knocked the Blue Devils out of the NCAA tournament. The Billikens’ final goal — the last forfeit of Mesalles’ freshman season — tasted as bitter as a College Cup tally can get: It was an own-goal by Duke.
