‘CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE
TO COME FORWARD’
This week marked the two-year
anniversary of the disappearance of
Indiana University student Lauren
Spierer — and yet the police seem to be
no closer to solving the case. Spierer
mysteriously disappeared on June 3,
2011, after she was last seen at 4:30
a.m. “There’s a sense that some day,
some week things will change for us,” her dad, Robert, told the Herald-Times. “That
someone will have the strength, the crisis of conscience to come forward.”

‘MAKING MY

AND HAPPY’

WARNING:
THIS WILL

Kristen Beck, who served as a Navy
SEAL for 13 deployments, revealed in
a new memoir that she is transgender.
Beck remained closeted while fighting in
Afghanistan because of the “don’t ask,
don’t tell” policy, but she is now telling her
story. “I do not believe a soul has a gender,
but my new path is making my soul
complete and happy,” Beck writes.
“I hope my journey sheds some light
on the human experience and most
importantly helps heal the ‘socio-religious
dogma’ of a purely binary gender.”
A selection of the week’s most talked-about stories.
