The case for good faith (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I've never been sure how to pronounce it. Bo-nah feed-ays? Bah-nah fieds? The term bona fides trips me up every time. But it's an important concept, so I try my best. You might even say I make…a good faith effort. To argue in good faith—the literal translation of the Latin—means assuming that the person on the other side is saying what he actually believes and that disagreement is not itself evidence of corruption, cowardice, or deceit.

Review: 'What To Burn, What To Carry' tells the stories of people confronted with disaster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So far there are only six episodes of What To Burn, What To Carry, the newly launched podcast from adventurer, dogsledder, and prestige podcast veteran Blair Braverman.

Suzanna's childhood is a dreamy Groundhog Day loop of visits, guards, waiting rooms, fluorescent lights, and adult evasiveness.
