| It's often viewed as one of life's simple pleasures: craving a yummy pizza and picking up the phone to order one. But imagine if you couldn't. Imagine if you didn't have the money to do so . I wrote this week about an Indiana woman who, surviving on $2 until her next Social security check arrives, had a hankering for a pie but couldn't afford one. Readers responded by sending Catherine Hembrecht 14 pizzas on Sunday.

But what sticks with me most is the fact that Hembrecht, 70, wants much of the monetary support she is receiving to be redirected to others in need. She's grateful and giving. What a lesson for all of us. |

The Justice Department says it has uncovered efforts to obstruct its investigation into the discovery of classified records at former President Donald Trump's Florida estate. | | Department of Justice via AP | |
| This time, though, the charge could actually stick. |
| Complex crimes can be difficult to prove, but ham-handed efforts to intimidate witnesses or conceal documents can be comparatively simple. Mueller was unable to find sufficient evidence to prove that Trump conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, but he found 10 instances of potential obstruction of justice.
