| | | | Requiring rest, rather than work, is still a radical idea. By Casey Cep  Illustration by Hokyoung Kim Here is a story I wasn’t sure my sister would ever let me tell. I come from a churchgoing family, but one Sunday my sister did not go to worship, even though the rest of us did. She wasn’t sick. In fact, she was the opposite of sick: recently confirmed, she had simply decided to exercise one of the rights she understood to be hers through confirmation, namely staying home for no reason other than that she wanted to do so. I must have found this shocking—not only her decision but the willingness of our parents to abide—though I can’t really summon a memory of how I felt before worship because of what happened after. | | | | From the News Desk | The Sporting Scene Deion Sanders, the Inveterate DisruptorIn some ways, the Buffs head coach is just like every other college coach, only better at it than most.
