Labor Day ushers out what meteorologists like to call meteorological summer, making schoolkids go back to school, closing beaches far too soon, and forcing outdoor [...]]]></description>

The letters, written in the 1950s, highlight issues still key today-gay marriage and military service. Milk wrote the letters to Patrick Mormon, with whom he became friends while in the Navy.

What you might not know is exactly how artists developed new ways to funnel their music to the public, how fans themselves became mouth-to-mouth (or file to file) distributors and live music has [...]]]></description>

The grandfather, Henry, goes so far as to speak less and less as life continues on, [...]]]></description>

Wisenberg transforms her illness memoir into a fiercely engaging and often very, very funny account of her battle with breast cancer. The title, &#8220;The Adventures of Cancer Bitch,&#8221; should be the first clue that Wisenberg wasn&#8217;t prepared to linger in an overly sentimental region and [...]]]></description>
