The adults in Herrera’s life inhabited a world her mother called “upper bohemia,” where the free souls and artistic pundits focused their attentions on art, pleasure and independent thinking....

The American Psychiatric Association describes autism as a disorder of impaired communication and social skills (including the delay or total lack of spoken language) and restricted or repetitive behavior such as flapping of the hands. But that view, argues Savarese in “Reasonable People: a Memoir of Autism and Adoption,” robs people with autism of their humanity and in return offers little hope. “To many experts, the non-speaking autist resembles the old version of a black hole: swallowing everything, emitting nothing; forever hidden, never to be revealed....

Milford’s long dig into the poet’s life is sure to reignite interest in Millay’s poetry. (There’s also another new biography, “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed,” by Daniel Mark Epstein.) Even by the time of her death in 1950–she pitched down the stairs one night and broke her neck, at the age of 58–Edna St. Vincent Millay had drifted out of fashion. But everybody remembered these prophetic lines: My candle burns at both ends;/It will not last the night;/But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends–/It gives a lovely light!...

The goal itself was an impressive right-to-left header off an end line cross from Lukasz Piszczek that Aubameyang timed perfectly, pushing the strike past keeper and 2014 World Cup Brazil star Manuel Neuer. The Spider-Man celebration is a staple of Aubameyang’s on-field presence, but pulling out a mask mid-game sort of tops the typical slide to the corner as your teammates mob you. Score a goal, put on a Spider-Man mask....

Like the once mighty Times Mirror, the newspaper industry is having a tough time moving beyond ink and paper. Almost anything that fits the rubric “information” has drawn the cash spun off by an industry that, while highly profitable, has barely gained daily readers since Dwight Eisenhower was president. The aim is to find synergies that could let papers parlay their franchises into new businesses with peppier earnings. The results have rarely earned headlines....

Legitimacy. Sistani is regarded by Iraqi Shiites as the most learned cleric in the country. He is also seen as having been uncorrupted by Saddam Hussein’s reign. “During the Iran-Iraq War, Sistani managed to demonstrate that he could be controlled neither by Saddam nor by his fellow ayatollahs in Iran, which has given him enormous credibility,” says Yitzhak Nakash, the leading authority on Iraqi Shiites. The United States fears that he will brand them as colonialists and the new transition government as a puppet regime....
