A Massachusetts woman gave birth in traffic this month, then cut the umbilical cord in the most New England of places: a Dunkin' parking lot. If you're having a baby, you have options. You can go to a hospital, visit a birth center, plan a home birth. But have you considered the side of the road? In Cape Cod, a couple of weeks ago, a Massachusetts couple found themselves in this conundrum - water breaking, baby coming, hospital miles away behind a line of traffic. So on Route 6, Danya Mahota pulled over, and his wife, Rebecca, gave birth in the car to a healthy baby girl, their second child. They named her Summer.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

WHITE MOUNTAIN—“That’s a lot of horses,” lamented Cheyenne resident Robyn Smith from a high-desert ridgeline. It wasn’t her first exasperated exclamation. “Argh, oh crap,” was her immediate reaction to learning a federal judge had given the Bureau of Land Management the OK to proceed with plans to fully remove two wild horse herds from the landscape in southwest Wyoming.

Four Star General Charles Hamilton, who as head of Army Materiel Command oversaw much of the service's logistics operations, wrote a letter to Army Secretary Wormuth on Friday asking to be reinstated. Hamilton, claimed in the letter that he had to intervene in the Army's Command Assessment Program, or CAP, selection last fall because he felt the process is racist and would unfairly handle the selection of a Black subordinate officer.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

Barack Obama was days shy of his 43rd birthday and months from being elected to the U.S. Senate when he stepped onto a Boston stage at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. A state lawmaker from Illinois, he had an unusual profile to be a headline speaker at a presidential convention. But the self-declared “skinny kid with a funny name” captivated Democrats that night, going beyond a requisite pitch for nominee John Kerry instead to introduce the nation to his “politics of hope” and vision of “one United States of America” not defined or defeated by its differences.
