The Halloween season should not pass without recounting the story of Jacque Alexander Tardy, perpetrator of what some historians call “one of the most sensational and horrific piracy cases in American maritime history.” Tardy was born in 1767, either in France or on San Domingue (modern Haiti).

Alfred O. Halsey mapped the evolution of Charleston. Can his work guide the city’s future?

CHARLESTON — What do you call a habit that you knowis bad for you, but you just can't stop?
