Dear Francis

Need some help with your relationship? Ask the pope (trust us)

Sure, he's 79 years old and celibate, but the pontiff's got some pretty great tips for couples. In his new exhortation, Pope Francis offers invaluable advice — like this tidbit, which seems fitting here: "The fact that love is imperfect does not mean that it is untrue or unreal."

The best bits of his advice

It's Not HBO. It's NPR

Before it became a film, NPR's Nina Totenberg made it a national conversation

With Confirmation last night, HBO is reviving the drama that nearly derailed Clarence Thomas' bid for the Supreme Court in 1991. But it was Totenberg who broke the story of Anita Hill's sexual harassment allegations against him — and it's Totenberg who still knows that story better than just about anyone.

Full Stop

In protest, Indiana women call the governor to talk about their periods

Since Gov. Mike Pence signed a law last month limiting abortion, women have been sending him a message. Well, a lot of messages — about their menstrual flow, and their cramps, and their birth control, and their tampon discomfort, and their bloating, and their menopause.

'We have a code red situation here'

SOS

In Canada's remote north, spate of suicide attempts prompts a state of emergency

Last month, 28 people in the isolated Attawapiskat community tried to kill themselves. Measured since last September, that number climbs to 101 (out of a community of about 2,000). Now, the indigenous group's leaders are asking for help.

Inside the heartbreaking situation

Lost Loves

She returned to China to find her family. Instead, she found dozens like them

Abandoned as a baby on the streets of Wuhan, Jenna Cook came back decades later with hopes of finding her birth mother. What she found, above all else, was the collective pain of those who'd given up children.
