In 1982, Malcolm Macarthur, an Irish aristocrat and heir, was in financial trouble. With a vague plan to rob a bank, he bought a crossbow, a tweed fisherman's hat, and called his mother. Then he went on a crime spree, bludgeoning a nurse, shooting a farmer in the face, and leaving both to die. Three weeks later, the manhunt ended with Macarthur's arrest. His hideout turned out to be the Dublin home of the Attorney General, which sparked a political scandal. Author Mark O'Connell grew up in Ireland hearing stories about Macarthur. They sounded like urban legends. A few years ago, O'Connell pieced together Macarthur's daily routine, and the author approached the now-released murderer on the street. The approach worked. Macarthur agreed to talk. |

| I used to be awful about putting on sunscreen. Even on days when I knew I'd be exposed for extended periods of time, I'd conveniently "forget" to apply or reapply. Not so much on my face, which goes from alabaster to full lobster—with all attendant embarrassment—in seemingly no time flat. But on my arms, legs—anywhere on my body that can, with a lot of coaxing, eventually develop something like a tan. One day last summer, in a moment of desperation on a long walk with my family, I grabbed the emergency bottle of Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen that we keep stashed in my son's stroller and slathered it on. It felt like nothing at all. Which is to say: It felt great. |

| Just like a line around the block for a popular brunch spot, actors were apparently putting their names down to appear on The Bear's second season. And I don't blame them! The FX series about a chef returning home to run his family's Italian beef sandwich shop transformed and came into their own in Season Two, as the cast prepared to renovate and open their own fine-dining restaurant. Along the way, the series picked up a great number of guest stars and cameo performances, all bringing something unique to the series latest batch of episodes. If you saw someone on the screen and thought, Wait, who is that again?! We've got you covered. |
