Shoeless
From the story, When Murray Met Helen
June came.
The Russian stock market was tumbling. A new island was being born in the North Atlantic. A fourteen year old boy escaped from Myanmar in the wheel well of a jetliner. Back in Milwaukee, Helen considered the e-mailed entreaties from one of her periodic suiters, who now seemed to think that the path back to her favors should resemble something like a clemency hearing. Murray sat shoeless in his blue silk bathrobe and composed his next letter to Senator Feingold, this one about the importance of the Great Lakes fisheries.

Cherie Rodgers and Larry Shook talk about the day they arrived at City Hall to shine a piercing light on Spokane’s most expensive secrets.
The first-ever meeting between Spokane City Councilwoman Cherie Rodgers and former Washington State Supreme Court Justice Richard Guy was not supposed to happen.
Or at least it wasn’t supposed happen this way—with a journalist in the room, furiously taking notes.

But how, exactly, did it come about?
That’s one of the questions I put to both of them in an interview earlier this month, which you can listen to here.
