Tempting recipes for National Strawberry Day
Strawberries and cream. Chocolate-covered strawberries. Strawberry shortcake. How can a little fruit that offers so many benefits, tempt us with decidedly decadent incarnations? Since today is National Strawberry Day, feel free to explore that question in any way you choose. I want to focus on recipes that highlight the versatile strawberry’s cheery bright red color, juicy freshness, and sweet-tart flavor. And about those benefits: strawberries contain abundant vitamin C, plus potassium, fiber, and iron. A whole cupful has only about 45 calories. Generally, a pint of strawberries is equal to 2 cups of hulled, sliced berries.

Scott Martelle: Televised meetings over school shootings are cathartic, but change nothing
There were a couple of remarkable moments Wednesday in Washington, D.C., and later in Sunrise, Fla., a few miles from where 17 people were slaughtered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last week. The first was a televised meeting between President Donald Trump and survivors and relatives of children killed in school shootings. The second was a CNN-hosted town hall that brought together survivors of the most recent massacre, other local residents, elected officials and a spokesperson for the National Rifle Association. There were frank discussions in both gatherings. They made for good cathartic theater.
