MY ONLY SON, HERSH, WAS KIDnapped from a music festival on Oct. 7, 2023, after having his dominant forearm and hand blown off.

- RACHEL GOLDBERG-POLIN

Not until they're home

He was held captive, tortured, starved, and then, after 328 days, shot in the hand (his only one), shoulder, neck, and twice in the head in a dark and airless tunnel in Gaza on Aug. 29, 2024.

Hersh's name had been on the list, in July, of those who would be released in a deal between Hamas and Israel. But that deal did not happen, because decisionmakers did not want it to happen. And Hersh, along with five other beautiful young people, with whom he was being held hostage, are now all dead.

My husband Jon and I, having suffered more than 300 days of every parent's nightmare of utter and indescribable torment, continued advocating and pushing for the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza. We did not want anyone else to go through what we are and will continue grappling with for the rest of our lives. At the time a cease-fire deal was announced, there were 98 hostages still in Gaza.

Two good men confront the Task of forgiveness

CRIME DRAMAS, IN OUR DISTRACTED TIMES, TEND TO front-load said crimes. More often than not, there’s a murder within the first five minutes. This is only one of the genre’s many implicit rules that HBO’s Task breaks. The series from Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby opens with a montage of quotidian scenes from the lives of two men. Weary Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo) folds his hands in prayer, dunks his face in a sink full of ice water, downs Advil while driving. Rugged Robbie Prendergrast (Tom Pelphrey) carries his sleeping son to bed, pours himself a tall mug of coffee, perks up at a radio ad for a dating app.

In exile, I lost India but gained a home

ON NOV. 7, 2019, THE GOVERNMENT OF PRIME MINISTER Narendra Modi revoked my Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI), effectively banning me from the country I grew up in. India was where my mother and grandmother lived. Where four out of my five books of fiction and nonfiction were set. Where I had returned after college in the U.S. with the aim of being “an Indian writer.”

The agentic age: a new frontier for AI and humans

FOR THE PAST YEAR, I’VE BEEN RUNNING SALES- force with a colleague who never sleeps, never takes vacations, and has read more than I could in 100 lifetimes. On a typical day, sitting with a few executives around the table, I’ll ask it to evaluate a competitor's moves, refine a keynote draft, or surface strategic blind spots we might have missed.

Why are so many women leaving the workforce?

212,000. THAT'S HOW MANY WOMEN AGES 20 AND OVER have left the U.S. workforce since January, according to the most recent jobs numbers released Aug. 1 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (By contrast, 44,000 men of the same age have entered the workforce since January.) The numbers are especially stark for women with children. From January to June, the labor-force participation rate of women ages 25 to 44 living with a child under 5 fell nearly 3 percentage points, from 69.7% to 66.9%, says Misty Lee Heggeness, an associate professor of economics and public affairs at the University of Kansas.
