Haruki Murakami, at 72, has not lost his fascination with the absurd. Take, for example, the talking monkey, who’s mellowed with age but is now offering back scrubs. In his latest collection of short stories, the Japanese fiction writer takes his familiar motifs to new territory.

Florence Howse Ridley, a barrier-breaking academic who was the first woman to chair the modern incarnation of UCLA’s Academic Senate and only the third woman to become a full professor in UCLA’s English department, died Jan. 16 of COVID-19 in her hometown of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She was 98.
Ridley came to UCLA in 1957 immediately after earning her doctorate in medieval English literature from Harvard, driving across the country in a car without air conditioning through the summer heat, according to her hometown obituary. She became one of only two women then in the English department faculty. She was hired as an instructor, from which she could in theory advance to assistant and then associate professor before gaining tenure as a full professor, but for years, the department had largely barred women from advancing past assistant professor, according to a recent history of the department.

Serena Lee Kilseimer
The duo who pleaded guilty to the 2019 killing of 56-year-old Helena resident Shane White in the Cave Gulch area near Canyon Ferry Lake was sentenced Tuesday.Â
Both 34-year-old Serena Lee Kilseimer and 43-year-old Dewayne William Johnson were originally charged with deliberate homicide but pleaded guilty to the lesser offense of mitigated deliberate homicide as part of a plea agreement in January. Johnson s plea included a claim of mental illness. Â
Lewis and Clark County District Court Judge Michael McMahon sentenced Kilseimer to 30 years in the Montana Women s Prison with 20 years suspended. She is ineligible for parole of any kind. She will have to register as a violent offender, is forbidden from associating with White s family and is ordered to pay $3,500 in restitution. McMahon said she is a danger to society and her potential for rehabilitation is minimal.
