40 years ago, a young, impressionable Southern Resident orca was ripped from her Pacific Northwest home and taken to where Seattleites fear most: Miami. Once named Tokitae, they renamed her Lolita -- yes, after "the heroine in Vladimir Nabokov's novel" -- however, I'm sure, although orcas apparently have self-awareness, it does not make much difference to Lolita. Animal rights groups are working to free her, but a scientist says she may have Stockholm syndrome. What will become of this unfortunately-named orca? Plus: a poll!

Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition Aug. 28-30
WAYZGOOSE!: We swear no geese are involved (or will be harmed) during Saturday's 8th Annual Letterpress Wayzgoose, a day to creatively honor the letterpress; expect demos, shop tours, and cool designs. Make sure not to miss the Steamroller Letterpress Smackdown! There is nothing cooler than blending the letterpress traditions of the 17th century with the 21st century techniques, design, and horsepower. You'll watch design teams create a poster and then try printing it with a two-ton steamroller, used in place of the traditional printing press.
