“The Tale,” a Wrenching and Wise Story About Sexual Abuse
Jennifer Fox’s HBO drama is about the vast gulf between what we know now and what we knew then, about the inevitability and the uselessness of gaining perspective.
“The Tale” is lit up by a clarifying anger, but it has a stirring, inspiring streak—it’s about mastering a story by finding the right way to tell it.

The lotus is an emblem of summer and an auspicious Buddhist symbol. Signifying purity because the flower emerges from the mud unstained, Buddhist deities are often depicted sitting on lotus blossom thrones.

In a major win for privacy rights, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that police must obtain a search warrant in order to get access to cellphone location information.
Chief Justice Roberts wrote the 5-to-4 decision, joining the court’s four liberals. The majority declared that the Fourth Amendment guarantees an expectation of privacy and that allowing police to obtain moment-by-moment tracking of an individual’s cellphone location is a kind of surveillance that the framers of the Constitution did not want to occur without a search warrant.

Nancy Reagan wore this Bill Blass red polka dot day dress in the White House Rose Garden on April 16, 1981.

The argonaut octopus, of the family Argonautidae, belongs to a group of pale pink-spotted octopuses. Unlike the heroes that sailed the Argo in the Greek myth, these octopuses are known for traversing the open ocean by way of a delicate, curved, creamy white vessel—an external casing, often referred to as a “shell,” that gave them their common nickname, the “paper nautilus.”
These creatures baffled naturalists and philosophers for two millennia, even fooling Aristotle, who believed that they used their large pair of webbed dorsal arms as “a sail” to catch the briny breeze and floated across the ocean’s surface like paper boats. These myths carried weight for centuries, even among naturalists in the 19th century.
It wasn’t until the early 1830s when self-taught French naturalist, Jeanne Villepreux-Power began researching the Argonauta argo, or the greater argonaut, that we learned the true origins of their “shells.” Along the way, Villepreux-Power tried new methods for studying sea creatures that gave insights not just into the paper nautilus, but also helped us to better understand other creatures of the sea today. Meet the “mother of aquaria.”
