  Poet Jodie Hollander was exploring the beauty of Arizona’s Walnut Canyon National Monument when an idea came to her.
  “I was so inspired and struck by the beauty of the place that it occurred to me, ‘Wouldn’t it be incredible if people could have an opportunity to really deepen their connection to their public lands by writing poems in national parks and national monuments?’” she says, explaining in a phone conversation last week.

  Moira Macdonald | (TNS) The Seattle Times
  For this month’s edition of The Plot Thickens, I decided to take a little meander into crime fiction set in the past. (Because the present, i.e. the endless late summer, was just too hot. Reading cools one down, I think.) First up: Amy Chua’s fiction debut “The Golden Gate” (Minotaur Books, $28), set in the Bay Area in the 1940s, where homicide detective Al Sullivan is trying to solve the murder of a presidential candidate —

  Happy Friday, Ghosties!
  When I was a kid, living on a military base in rural Indiana in the ’80s, I couldn’t wait for our local pumpkin patch to open. The humid summer months were over, there was a chill in the air, the leaves were turning and I was ready to get elbow deep in some pumpkin guts and then hack away at its flesh with a kitchen knife at our family dining room table.
  But first, I had to pick my pumpkin. It was a task I took very seriously and, with the help

  Arthur Allen | (TNS) KFF Health News
  Tennessee last year spent $48 million on a single drug, Humira — about $62,000 for each of the 775 patients who were covered by its employee health insurance program and receiving the treatment. So when nine Humira knockoffs, known as biosimilars, hit the market for as little as $995 a month, the opportunity for savings appeared ample and immediate.
