  No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln - A man begins to sense that part of himself has slipped away—only to reappear in Ireland, where he was born. What unfolds is a haunting tale of divided identity and the eerie possibility of living two lives at once. 
  Victoria Lincoln (1904–1981) was an American novelist, biographer, essayist, and occasional contributor to speculative fiction, best remembered for her psychological insight and the quiet, persistent tension woven into her work. Born in Fall River, Massachusetts—a town infamous for its connection to Lizzie Borden—Lincoln grew up with a keen awareness of history, local legend, and the undercurrents of human behavior. She studied at Radcliffe College, later embarking on a writing career that spanned novels, nonfiction, journalism, and short fiction. 
  Lincoln’s 1934 novel February Hill was among her earliest successes, later adapted into both a stage play and a motion picture. She went on to publish widely in respected periodicals, writing essays, social commentary, and book reviews. But she also had an enduring fascination with mystery and crime, which culminated in her acclaimed biography A Private Disgrace: Lizzie Borden by Daylight (1967), a meticulous psychological portrait of Fall River’s most infamous resident. That book, drawing upon her own intimate knowledge of the town, remains one of the most compelling examinations of the Borden case ever written. 
  Over the decades, Victoria Lincoln’s work earned her respect not only for its literary polish but also for its unique mixture of empathy and unflinching observation.

  The Nazi regime of Germany during World War II is known for its atrocities, including the systematic persecution and extermination of millions of Jews and other minorities. However, the unethical medical experiments conducted by Nazi doctors on prisoners are less widely known, which were rooted in the ideology of Darwinism and racial purification. These experiments involved subjecting prisoners to brutal and often deadly procedures in the name of scientific advancement and the supposed improvement of the Aryan race. The ethical implications of these experiments and how pseudoscientific theories of racial superiority justified them continue to raise important questions about the role of science and medicine in society and the need for ethical guidelines and oversight in research. This paper explores the ethical dilemmas presented by the Nazi medical experiments, the relationship between Darwinism and racial purification, and the ongoing implications of these issues for contemporary society.

  White Poverty The Invisible...

  A deacon once approached Reverend William J. Barber II in his church study, asking for help with a young woman’s $50 light bill. Deacons, like this retired Black man in North Carolina, have a long tradition of serving the vulnerable. Barber agreed to help but realized the deacon couldn’t see the deeper issue: the woman worked two jobs and still struggled. This blindness to poverty isn’t a personal failure but a result of societal myths. 
  Barber, inspired by biblical prophets, believes in calling attention to the unseen poor. He has met poor people across America who share their stories, asking not for bailouts but for recognition. Nearly 40 million Americans are officially poor, but this number is misleading. The outdated Official Poverty Measure doesn’t account for today’s high cost of living. 
  Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, with real wages lower than 50 years ago. Wealth inequality has grown, with the richest 1 percent owning more than the combined wealth of 80 percent of the population. Politicians avoid naming this crisis, and myths about poverty persist. Researchers have found that 140 million Americans are poor or low-income, including 66 million white people. Most of America’s poor are white.
