On the Trail of a Silver Thief — Garden & Gun
Kim Severson discusses a highly skilled burglar who investigators believe made off with $12 million of fine silver from nearly a hundred homes in six Southern states over three years: "For most victims, the lost silver was an irreplaceable link to their history and their ancestors.

A Fight is Brewing — New York Times Magazine
A fascinating look at the Danish identical twins behind cult breweries Mikkeller and Evil Twin: "The Bjergso brothers have opposite temperaments: Mikkel is reserved; Jeppe is an extrovert. And they are not on good terms, despite — or rather, because of — their shared infatuation with beer. They haven’t spoken to each other in more than a year." Read it at The New York Times Magazine .
