In 1988, when Robert Clark was in his early twenties, he traveled to Odessa, Texas, to create a visual element for a book about a high school football team. That book was Buzz Bissinger's Friday Night Lights-the chronicle of a season with the Permian Panthers, one of the state's winningest teams of all time. About twenty photos appeared in Bissinger's book, but Clark shot 137 rolls of film during his time with the Panthers. Friday Night Lives collects dozens of the never-before-seen images, taking us back to the team, the city, and that dramatic season. The archival photos, published here on the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of Bizzinger's bestseller, capture intimate moments among the players and their families and classmates, as well as the wider world of Odessa. Now the players have grown up. Friday Night Lives also includes Clark's portraits of key Panthers figures at a later age, documenting complex lives of beauty and struggle. Boobie Miles, the star fullback sidelined by injury, is here, along with Coach Gaines and others. In his heartfelt foreword, best-selling author Hanif Abdurraqib describes how Clark's photos rehumanize the players, reminding us of the truth of their young lives before their stories became nationally known in print, film, and television.

"We all love a good mystery. We are driven by primal instinct to ask why, how, where, and myriad other questions aimed at solving the mysteries that both plague and enrich our lives. Carolina bays are the embodiment of a good mystery. Since their initial description in 1848, when South Carolina State Geologist Michael Tuomey noted their unique shape and orientation, myriad scientists have been fascinated by these features. Tuomey's work cracked the door open to the mystery of Carolina bays, but the advent of aerial photography in the 1930s blew the door off entirely. Since their early discovery and description, they have both intrigued and bewildered us. In fact many early descriptions labeled them "mysterious Carolina bays," leaving no doubt that our understanding of these phenomena was greatly limited. Humans encountered and began describing Carolina bays long before their formal discovery. Native Americans made camps along the sandy rims and edges of them. Early explorers and naturalists mentioned them in their writings, giving them their first "unofficial" name: pocosin. The word pocosin derives from an Algonquin word meaning "swamp on a hill"-and there the mystery begins. The early explorers of our country were accustomed to swamps along rivers, streams, large lakes, and coastal tidelands. Finding a swamp while crossing great stretches of upland was something quite different. No one seems to be sure who originally coined the term "Carolina Bay," but it may have been the early naturalist John Lawson, who in the 1700s noted the abundance of bay trees found in these "swamps on a hill." So even the name, which many associate with an embayment of some sort, is a bit mysterious and may originally have had nothing to do with the embayment or impoundment of water. It wasn't until the advent of aerial photography in the 1930s that the extent of the real mystery associated with Carolina bays became obvious. Yes, we had read the descriptions of Carolina bays offered by Tuomey and other early researchers, but seeing is believing. Early aerial photos, many from the coast of South Carolina, revealed both great and small elliptical and oval-shaped features spread across the landscape. And as if to enrich the mystery further, these ellipses and ovals all pointed in the same direction: technically speaking, their long axes were all aligned in a northwest-southeast direction. Some of these features had sandy rims outlining their circumference; some did not. Some appeared to overlap other bays, as if they were stacked one upon another. There it was: visual proof that the mysterious Carolina bays were real"--

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, much of the US economy was closed to limit the virus' spread, and several emergency interventions were implemented. Our analysis of older (45-75) respondents fielded in April-May of 2020 indicates that about one in five respondents was financially fragile and would have difficulty facing a mid-size emergency expense. Some subgroups were at particular risk of facing financial difficulties, especially younger respondents, those with larger families, Hispanics, and the low income. Moreover, the more financially literate were better able to handle such shocks, indicating that knowledge can provide some additional protection during a pandemic.
