One of the highlights of Obama’s press conference today with the Turkish prime minister: Obama called on two Marines… to hold umbrellas.

That’s one way to spice up a press conference!

After 24 knee operations, the National Football League’s former Man of the Year leans heavily on a crutch. When Reggie Williams pulls up his pants leg, what’s underneath looks like the trimmings from a butcher shop. His right leg is so ravaged that it’s three inches shorter than his left. Worse, it’s uninsured.

Reggie Williams played in the NFL for 14 years. He has had 24 knee surgeries, four of which were knee replacements. WIlliams has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars out of pocket on health problems stemming from his NFL career. But how much of that should be the NFL’s responsibility?

Fold producer Gabe Silverman interviewed Williams for part 3 of The Washington Post’s series on NFL and medicine. And read Rick Maese and Sally Jenkins story—Do no harm: Paying the price, paying the cost.

The work behind a remarkable picture is often a mystery. But not today.

In the highly public life of a politician, rarely captured photos that show their private, vulnerable selves are treasured.

We invite you to meet Joe Biden.

The little old woman with the wig glued to her helmet is talking to three men in suits about war.

It’s sweltering in the August sunshine, and everything about these men — their designer sunglasses, unsheathed BlackBerrys, stiff postures — conveys a desire to escape the conversation. The woman keeps talking.

“This is very important,” she is saying, her voice an emphatic falsetto. “We’ve got to stop Iran.”

If you’ve been to the North side of the White House, you’ve probably seen Connie Picciotto. She’s the woman who has inhabited a shelter on the edge of Lafayette Square Park for the past 30 years.

The devil was just over Pine Ridge.

From the deserted parking lot on the edge of town, the three servants of God looked into darkness.

They clicked on their flashlights, pushed through the initial thicket of brush and began their trek, aiming for the black wooded slope.

First, the house painter: bearded, calm, quiet.

Second, the Catholic nun: gentle, grandmotherly, short of breath.

Third, the drifter: alert, intense, shouldering supplies.

Dan Zak tells the story of the Prophets of Oak Ridge—three peace activists who broke into the Y-12 nuclear-weapons facility in Tennessee. A chain reaction followed.

The Fold spoke with “the Catholic nun,” Sister Megan Gillespie Rice.

The White House correspondents’ dinner is a Nerd Prom? No, it’s just like Portlandia, obviously.

We got to chat with Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein, MC Hammer, and other celebrities at the Hilton Ballroom on Saturday as they attended one of DC’s biggest — and nerdiest — events.

But, hey, if Fred Armisen is there, that makes it automatically cool.

We’re welcoming the White House to tumblr! Even if they don’t know how to pronounce gif. It’s soft ‘g’ gif. Like the Peanut Butter. Fortunately nobody can hear you say it wrong on tumblr.

We’re testing out Google glass and it’s pretty awesome. Except they don’t really know what The Washington Post is. But that can be fixed right?

Conan O’Brien is SOMEWHERE IN D.C. We’re going to find him so we’ll be off Tumblr for awhile…

But you’ll definitely be able to find him on Saturday night on washingtonpost.com where we’ll have live video of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Feel free to drool. No judgement.

The Fold’s Gabe Silverman reports on the use of medical marijuana to help prevent seizures in children. This is Emily’s’ story:

Emily was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms. A condition that can cause dozens, even hundreds of seizures a day.

The Rollins have tried more than a dozen different treatments. None seemed to work long-term, and each came with a significant price tag. Along with doctor bills and medical equipment the cost to treat Emily became too much. Joe and Erica were at their wits end when they heard about a controversial, yet seemingly effective drug helping children to control their seizures: Medical Marijuana

Presidents are just like us, right?

Well, they pretend to be at the White House Correspondents Dinner every year.

The ladies of The Reliable Source take us through the most memorable moments of dinners past.

There’s a lot to sort through from the moment the bombs at the Boston Marathon went off a week ago today until Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured after an all-day manhunt in Watertown, Mass. last Friday night. The Post Graphics team gives a concise timeline of the events from “A Week of Terror.”
