A New Police Force Chased a 17-Year-Old Boy to His Death. Then It Vanished.Cruising south down a two-lane highway in Montana, Braven Glenn looked out onto the open road, the evening sky chilly and dark. It was November 24, 2020—half a year into the pandemic and three months after his 17th birthday. He was a good student, on his way to pick up his girlfriend, a basketball player like him, at her house on the Crow Indian Reservation. Most days, Braven took his time while driving; his friends sometimes teased him for staying below the speed limit. But lately he hadn’t been feeling like himself—not since his grandma died from Covid weeks earlier. On this particular night, when a car ahead of him sat at around 60 mph in a 70 mph zone, he signaled and passed it, slowing again to the speed limit after crossing back over the dotted…

Nestle adding sugar to poorer nations’ baby foods, group claimsViewNestle adds sugar to baby formulas and other foods for young children while keeping sugar content lower for the same products in wealthier nations, a new report from the Swiss-based advocacy group Public Eye claims.In its report titled “How Nestle gets children hooked on sugar in lower-income countries,” Public Eye tested several different products for their added sugar content.

Cerelac also had 5.2 grams per sugar per serving in Ethiopia, and 4…

The Man Who Died for the Liberal ArtsPhoto-illustrations by Gabriela PesqueiraChugging through Pacific waters in February 1942, the USS Crescent City was ferrying construction equipment and Navy personnel to Pearl Harbor, dispatched there to assist in repairing the severely damaged naval base after the Japanese attack. A young ensign—“real eager to get off that ship and get into action,” in the recollection of an enlisted Navy man who encountered him—sat down and wrote a letter to his younger brother, who one day would be my father.Philip Alvan Shribman, a recent graduate of Dartmouth and just a month away from his 22nd birthday, was not worldly but understood that he had been thrust into a world conflict that was more than a contest of arms. At stake were the life, customs, and values that he knew. He was a quiet young man, taciturn in the old New England way, but he…

Less than half of Americans say they get enough sleep, new poll showsIf you’re feeling — YAWN — sleepy or tired while you read this and wish you could get some more shut-eye, you’re not alone.

That’s a first in Gallup polling since 2001; in 2013, when Americans were last asked, it was just about the reverse…
