Some new words are unforgettable, needing little or no explanation. They intuitively and metaphorically illuminate the previously undefined. (Who heard of “crowdfunding” and “selfies” 10 years ago?)

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Can saving a life be as easy as making a phone call? The new 988 Mental Health Lifeline is doing exactly that; saving lives one call (or text) at a time!
