In this updated and remastered Southern Mysteries Classic, we revisit the strange disappearance of Connie Franklin and the mystery of the man who returned from the dead. In 1929, five men in Stone County, Arkansas, were charged with the murder of Franklin, a drifter who had vanished from the Ozarks. A teenage girl said he had been brutally attacked and his body burned in the woods, and investigators believed they had found his charred remains. Then, just days before the murder trial began, a man appeared claiming to be Connie Franklin. The bizarre case drew reporters from across the country and became known as the Arkansas Ghost Trial.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to open their season against the Atlanta Falcons Sunday, where we'll get our first real chance to see what Mike McCarthy has in store for the direction of the franchise. Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo talk on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's North Shore Drive podcast about how McCarthy can get the Steelers ahead of some key NFL trends. How do Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington factor in to the Steelers being at the forefront of innovation when it comes to offense and set the stage for McCarthy's era to raise the ceiling of the franchise from recent years. Also, Chris and Ray give you a first look at the Falcons and the challenges they present as week one opponents. Tua Tagovailoa was named as the starting quarterback, and that might be the opportunity he Steelers need to get Patrick Graham's defense up and running. But will they run into trouble with Joey Porter Jr. still negotiating a contract extension, DeShon Elliott on injured reserve, and both Jalen Ramsey and Jaquan Brisker missing a lot of practices?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 16, 2026 is: zeugma • ZOOG-muh • noun Zeugma refers to wordplay in which a single word relates to other words in such a way that it means something different in each case, as in “building a boat and a reputation” and “open a book along with your mind.” // A clever use of zeugma was demonstrated by Groucho Marx's character Rufus T. Firefly in Duck Soup (1933): “You can leave in a taxi. If you can't get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that's too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff.” See the entry > Examples: “... in an evocative use of zeugma—my favorite literary device ... [Oyinkan] Braithwaite writes, ‘The old house and everyone in it was falling apart.'” — Hudson Warm, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 2 Nov. 2025 Did you know? “Zeugma, like the pun, is economical: it contracts two sentences into one . . .; it links unrelated terms—mental with moral, abstract with physical, high with low—and thus generates surprise,” wrote Walter Redfern in Puns (1984). Zeugma, which has been a part of the English language since the 15th century, comes from Greek, where it literally means “joining.” But even those who are unfamiliar with the word are likely well acquainted with the clever wordplay to which it refers—zeugma is a beloved device of lyricists, probably for the economy noted by Redfern. Notable examples come from Alanis Morissette (“You held your breath and the door for me”), Taylor Swift (“The wine is cold like the shoulder that I gave you”), and the Beatles (“Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name”).

When workers at the historic Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper hit the picket line in October of 2022, they had no idea that they would be on strike for over three years—or that the strike would end with new owners taking over the paper and most strikers losing their jobs. But now, a new chapter is being written in their epic story. This week, workers and community supporters launched the Pittsburgh Progress, "a cooperative news organization, owned and democratically run by its workers and members… dedicated to looking out for, and telling the stories of, the working-class people who form the heart and soul of our diverse communities."
