A push for stricter gun laws in Maine
A MASS SHOOTING THAT LEFT 18 people dead at a bar and a bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine, on Oct. 25 is putting a spotlight on the state's legal laxity on gun safety. Specifically, Maine doesn't have some measures that have been shown to reduce gun deaths or homicides, such as laws that require gun permits which some research found was associated with a 60% reduced risk of mass shootings-or universal background checks for handgun sales.

SAHER ALGHORRA HAS LONG LOVED TO DOCUMENT both the beauty and challenges of life in Gaza. That's what first drove the 27-year-old Gaza native to become a photojournalist.

THE CASE FOR ANXIETY
Anxiety. The very word evokes discomfort. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, half of young American adults deal with it, so it's no wonder that this epidemic is causing us so much concern. But, as a clinician and researcher, I see a much bigger problem: in our society's quest to be anxiety-free, we tend to miss out on many valuable opportunities presented by this normal human emotion.
