Bush, to distance himself from his energy company connections, died on Friday in Texas. She was 99. Her daughter, former First Lady Laura Bush, confirmed the death on Instagram, saying her mother had been “a true daughter of West Texas who loved her family, books, and nature.” Her granddaughter and namesake, Jenna Bush Hager, a correspondent for the NBC show “Today,” said on Twitter that Mrs. Welch, a self-educated naturalist, “taught me how to slow down and appreciate every bird, and every plant in West Texas.” Mrs. Welch was rarely in the limelight … [Read more...] about Jenna Welch, Laura Bush’s Mother, Dies at 99

Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote that "the health of the eye seems to demand a horizon." For many lawyers, however, sight lines extend only as far as the office door, and the horizon is truncated by walls and window edges. They're in a box, literally and figuratively, held captive by tasks, deadlines, rules, expectations and stress. But these eight lawyers have discovered that to get out of this box, one simply has to get out—to step outside and seek adventure in the great outdoors. Whether on a bike, in a boat, on foot or even on ice skates, they turn to nature to nurture their mental and physical health, finding peace and happiness along their journeys to that horizon.Tom Mullikin Managing partner, the Mullikin Law FirmCamden, South CarolinaTom Mullikin preparing to dive during a blizzard in Antarctica.

In August, when the solar eclipse passed over South Boise Women’s Correctional Center in Idaho, the officers held lunch early, handed out protective sunglasses, and invited the women outside to watch the sky. At the Cheshire Correctional Institution in Connecticut, a few prisoners and officers recently played cards together; the warden seemed a little stunned when describing the scene. John Wetzel, who runs the prison system in Pennsylvania, has noticed a shift in tone at annual gatherings of his peers. “We talk more now about the humanity of inmates, and the impact of harsh environments on both staff and inmates,” he said. He doesn’t want to overstate the point; most U.S. prisons are still focused on security, reflecting a broader culture of punishment. (Wetzel himself has been criticized for not doing more to reduce his agency’s use of solitary confinement.) But when he considers these small moments around the country, he cites a surprising influence: … [Read more...] about I Did It Norway: Some American prisons are singing a European tune

Now Kornbluth was wide awake. Levy, he knew, was in the midst of defending alleged mob boss Charles “Lucky” Luciano in that sensational vice case brought by the crime-busting special prosecutor, Thomas E. Dewey. But what could Levy possibly want from him and, more importantly, from Dorothy Calvit?Criminal defense attorney George Morton Levy. Getty Images.“‘Cokey Flo’ Brown,” Levy explained, although the name meant nothing to Kornbluth. She was a heroin addict and a former madam and an inmate in the Women’s House of Detention awaiting sentence on a prostitution charge. She was also a Dewey witness who’d earlier that day taken the stand and given damaging testimony about a series of supposed meetings between Luciano and his co-defendants David Betillo, Thomas “the Bull” Pennochio and James Frederico—the alleged purveyors of a citywide prostitution racket. Cokey Flo, Levy told Kornbluth, had worked for and lived with Calvit … [Read more...] about How prosecutors brought down Lucky Luciano
