The central character of J. Courtney Sullivan's new book, "The Cliffs," is a house - an old Victorian house which sits high above the sea in Maine. But like so much of Sullivan's work, the heart of this multigenerational story is women and how often their stories are discarded or lost. If the central character of "The Cliffs" is a house, the protagonist is Harvard archivist Jane Flanagan. Jane returns to her hometown, site of the house in question, after an episode at a work party that has led to her being put on leave from her job and from her marriage. In an effort to fill her days, she begins documenting the history of the house for the new owner, and it is through telling these stories of the generations of women who lived there that Jane manages to begin to understand her own story.

The Los Angeles Lakers struggled to find any traction in 2023. While there is no questioning the greatness of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the rest of the roster never stepped up. This offseason, the Lakers are reportedly aggressively trying to add another star, but any championship roster is defined by the pieces around those stars. The Lakers re-signed one of those pieces today. Guard Max Christie is coming back to the team on a four-year deal.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A 17-foot-tall modernist statue stands in the atrium of Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles. Shards of broken metal lie at the figure’s feet, and he raises a rectangular slab over his head, about to dash it against the ground. This is a statue of Moses.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

“Go home,” posts reader after reader. The comment streams of my articles about the migrants have a common refrain: “You’re not welcome here.” And much, much worse. I’ve had to shut down the comments on some of my articles due to downright hostile remarks. It occurred to me, however, that the migrants probably aren’t reading American news, which is published in English. Immigrant rights and housing advocate Amy Beck confirmed my suspicions. “No, I don't think they're aware because the majority don't speak English and don't follow local Denver news,” Beck said in an email. ”It's also not something I've ever mentioned to them. It's not important to me to point out haters. I'm usually talking with them about services and their rights. Also just helping them along their path. I've never discussed haters with them unless haters physically show up in a camp and we have to deal with them firsthand.”

Opinion: Anti-migrant comments, not limited to Denver, fall upon deaf ears

Two rural Georgia counties lost more than 12% of their population over the past three years, leading a worrisome trend in many of Georgia's rural counties and smaller towns. The populations of Telfair County and Stewart County, both largely rural counties with agricultural based economies and located in the Southern half of Georgia, shrunk by more than 12% each from 2020 to 2023, according to data from the US Census Bureau.
