These nuns spent a lifetime helping others. In their last years, who will help them? A masterpiece by @stuart_tibs @NPR. How are you caring for the elderly in our families? When is the last time you checked on the people who took care of you? Read the entire story npr.org/2026/06/20/g-s1-1286…

East Africa Archives. 1960. Before power, before titles, before fear. Just boots, mud, and men - and Uganda still deciding who it would remember. Ray Wolley, back row, third from left, is the only surviving member of this team. Now in his nineties, he lives in Zimbabwe, having played rugby for Uganda and Malawi in his youth. Idi Amin Dada, back row, sixth from left -Uganda’s former president. Some games, it turns out, don’t end at full time.

Foreign correspondence has a problem. What has happened at the @washingtonpost is awful, all job loses are terrible, and a shock to the whole industry. But the majority of international reporters have been operating for years without support, respect or pay. 1/5
