My One Story is officially live! This is a secret ode to my hs cross-country coach, whom I adored, even though I detested the sport. Since all writers are perverse, I decided to show my admiration with a story about power and coercion. Order a copy here! one-story.com/index.php?page…

.@AndrewRestuccia and I called many of Kavanaugh's 65 female HS acquittances who signed a letter supporting him. After his accuser came out on Sunday, only TWO said they still stood by him. More than two dozen didn't respond, and two declined to comment. politi.co/2NjREVl
