Mr. Ford kept their daughter at home to ensure Ms. Ford wouldn’t tell anyone in the emergency room how Robert’s injury happened. Ms. Ford, now 65, is serving a sentence of life without parole at the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla. Leigh Goodmark, the author of the book “Imperfect Victims,” said that self-defense law imagines two parties of equal strength, size, weight and physical capability. But where self-defense law really fails to capture a woman’s experience is around the question of imminence. For women like Ms. Ford, Ms. Ayobi and many others, killing their way out of a relationship was an act of salvation — for themselves, for their children.

On a mid-October Monday, shortly before 9 a.m., 179 elite puzzlers made their way into the ballroom of a Toronto hotel and found their allocated seats for the World Sudoku and Puzzle Championships. Quiet descended as proctors distributed booklets for Round 1: nine Sudoku puzzles, with a 45-minute time limit. He is a three-time world Sudoku champion, and in 2018 he won the title of world puzzle champion, making him the first person to win both honors. The annual championship event comprises two days of Sudoku, followed by three days of other types of pencil-and-paper logic puzzles. There were also trickier variants, such as “Difference Sudoku,” for which the standard rules apply, but also each number shown in a circle between two adjacent cells indicates the difference of the numbers in those two cells.
