Thought for the Day Rhidian BrookGood Morning, In the rushed attempt to reckon with the Epstein files and what they mean, it’s become hard to hear from and easy to forget the women who were actually the victims of his crimes.

Whenever these women have spoken, it is striking how eloquent they are, not just about what has happened to them, but...

If the title sounds a little familiar, you may be thinking of the 2019 movie by the same name which of course, we watched to review and contrast. In both cases, we sort of wished the...
