Federal health officials said on Friday that romaine lettuce on sandwiches from Wendy’s restaurants was possibly responsible for the “fast-moving” E. coli outbreak that has sickened dozens and hospitalized 10 people. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a specific food had not yet been confirmed, but most of those sickened reported having…
Ann McGuiness, a behind-the-scenes force in women’s health and reproductive rights who raised vast amounts of money for Planned Parenthood and other groups and then was a founder of the Contraceptive Access Initiative, which seeks to make hormonal birth control more available over the counter, died on Aug. 3 in Albany, N.Y.

This week’s staggering Modern Love essay, “A Last Act of Intimate Kindness,” reminded me of a powerful Tiny Love Story we published years ago, “What We Do in the End”: What We Do in the End “Your sister is in the hospital,” my mother said over the phone. “You need to come home.” I had…
