      <image:title>ARTICLES &amp; NOVEL - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>In December of 2023—two months after Hamas invaded Israel, butchering over 1,200 human beings and taking almost 250 humans hostage and torturing them in tunnels that span over 400 miles underground—I moved to Israel in order to witness, explore and write about what life is like here during the country’s war against Hamas. This publication is the real-time result of that exploration. “Life During Wartime: Dispatches from the Home Front” isn’t about the war.  It’s about humanity. I’m creating a series of portraits of the lives of people who are trying to hold themselves together, so that they can hold their country together—artists, actors, musicians, students, teachers, tech entrepreneurs, lawyers, accountants, bartenders, bus drivers, sanitation workers, mothers and fathers, and children — anyone who has a gripping story that I can find and tell.

      <image:caption>Illustration by Robert Hunt ESPN PRESENTS 1927: THE DIARY OF MYLES THOMAS. Written in the form of a diary that was authored by a pitcher on the fabled "Murderers' Row" New York Yankees, 1927: The Diary of Myles Thomas explores the real-life nexus between baseball, jazz and the criminal underworld that existed at the height of the Roaring Twenties, and details the social, racial and sexual insanity brought on by Prohibition. The novel—and accompanying online presentation, featuring stunning photos and original artwork—chronicles the lives and adventures of Jazz Age entertainers and musicians, baseball immortals, bootleggers, gamblers, murderers, and Wall Street swindlers. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Al Capone, Arnold Rothstein, Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, Artie Shaw and Barbara Stanwyck, all come together in Myles Thomas's intimate exploration of youth, greatness, morality, race, sex, and the meaning of heroes. “1927: The Diary of Myles Thomas” can be experienced at ESPN.com/1927.</image:caption>
