☆ When my husband and I got married, I wasn't sure if I wanted kids. Now I'm 72 and childless, and I don't regret it.

At the time I thought I might want to have kids, and Barry thought he probably didn't. During college I told my mother that I worried that I wouldn't make a good parent because I didn't enjoy children much. Louisa Rogers and her husband Barry enjoy spending time with their grandsons. On the other hand, I married Barry knowing he was uncertain, so my wish couldn't have been that strong. Since I have many peers who, like me, don't have biological children, I don't feel alone.

In 1996, 80 "Titanic" cast and crew members unknowingly ate PCP-laced chowder, sparking chaos. AdvertisementOn the last day of shooting in Canada, 80 people from the set of 'Titanic' were hospitalized after ingesting PCPA still from "Titanic." Director James Cameron told Vanity Fair he felt "suddenly and very distinctly woozy" after eating chowder provided by a local caterer — though the exact type of chowder is unknown. Related storiesCameron told Vanity Fair that, in his memory, cinematographer Caleb Deschanel (father of actors Zooey and Emily Deschanel) started a conga line down the hospital hallway. The Halifax Police Department investigated for over two years before closing the case in February 1999 due to a lack of suspects, Vanity Fair reported.

Floors at the abortion clinic where they worked, they told him, were flecked with dried blood. For many people in Louisiana, the allegations against the Delta Clinic of Baton Rouge were a grim confirmation of what they already suspected. Aided by Mr. Johnson, a local TV news investigation would lead Louisiana’s Republican governor to declare a public health emergency. It was Mr. Johnson’s first triumph in a grinding two-decade battle against the Delta clinic — and against abortion more broadly — that would become one of the animating crusades of his public life. “I think the Delta clinic was the pivot point for Mike,” said Gene Mills, president of Louisiana Family Forum, an influential conservative group.

According to the suit, Mr. Portnow greeted her in the lobby and brought her to his room. She still felt woozy the next morning, and exited when Mr. Portnow left the room to attend a meeting. Mr. Portnow is described in the court papers as having ignored several attempts by the woman to contact him afterward. Several months later, she emailed officials at the Recording Academy, telling them she had been sexually harassed by Mr. Portnow. The complaint includes an image of an email from a lawyer for Mr. Portnow, sent in November 2018, relaying what it said was a personal message from Mr. Portnow to the woman.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “That ’70s Show” star Danny Masterson could get as much as 30 years to life in prison at his sentencing Thursday for the rapes of two women two decades ago. A jury of seven women and five men found Masterson guilty of two counts on May 31 after seven days of deliberations. The women blamed the church for their hesitancy in going to police about Masterson. Masterson was not charged with any counts of drugging, and there was no toxicology evidence to back up the assertion. Masterson starred with Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis and Topher Grace in “That ’70s Show” from 1998 until 2006.

☆ The Exercise That Changed My Relationship With My Body

Blithely I bypass the lap pool; not once in my adult life have I craved more repetitive activity. Instead I set up shop on the side of the warm-water pool — foam weights, kickboard, noodle — and, slipping into the 92-degree water, I sense a holy transition. The others arrive by way of a long ramp, discarding canes or walkers, hoisting themselves from wheelchairs, fingers trailing in deepening water. The Santa Fe Community College warm-water pool is not a place to be seen. Pathetically, valiantly, I worked my way up to 15 minutes of recumbent exercise, to 30 minutes, to walking on a treadmill.

☆ Hazardous air quality leaves some workers gasping for help

William MedinaWhen wildfire smoke smothers US cities and communities, suddenly creating a hazardous air quality event, workers like Leichenger say they’re left gasping for help to keep doing their jobs. On Thursday, Teamsters Local 804 partnered with New York City Democratic Socialists of America to distribute donated KN95 masks to workers. That could include greater attention paid to improving indoor air quality as well as flexible work arrangements. Research is limited, however, as to how wildfire smoke ultimately affects job choices and to what extent people become disinclined to work in higher-exposure fields with greater exposure, he said. For now, workers like Leichenger remain on the front lines.

Danner told People she was surprised by the diagnosis. “I wanted to forge ahead as a mother, and I didn’t want them to worry.”When she finally told her daughter, “I was obviously very shocked,” Gwyneth Paltrow told People. “I was amazed at how strong she was able to be.”Danner said she is now working with the Oral Cancer Foundation to raise awareness of oral cancers.

☆ Trial begins for Danny Masterson, 'That '70s Show' actor charged with rape

LOS ANGELES — A prosecutor described rape allegations by three women Tuesday against “That ’70s Show” actor Danny Masterson from two decades ago that contained some of the same disturbing elements. One of them said he dragged her to his bed where she regained consciousness to find him having sex with her. Superior Court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo sternly reminded the lawyers that Scientology would not dominate the trial. The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they were victims of sexual abuse unless they come forward publicly. Weinstein’s second rape and sexual assault trial — he’s already been convicted in New York — is happening simultaneously, just down the hall from Masterson’s.
