The Seam Does Not Show Anymore
Taft weeping over his closest friend in 1912, a friendship breaking apart at the Royal Statistical Society in 1935, and two statisticians whose falling out never got the ending anyone expects.

Twenty-Three Cats
Twenty-three cats parachuted into Borneo in 1960 to repair a malaria fix, five definitions of a system, and what systems thinking asks before the next fix: where the cost will show up, and when.

Nothing Grows Alone
Breast milk delivers millions of bacteria a day to a baby, and in 1899 a doctor in Paris saw that it also picks which ones win the gut. Part one of three: milk carries sugars only those bacteria can eat, a recount of a 2009 chart shows what a well-known map of the microbiome measured, a four-day course of antibiotics can leave some of them missing for months, and a 2024 review of the microbiome asks what a body is once its microbes count.
