DEAR ABBY: My son, "Peter," is in college working on a postgraduate degree. He arranged a date with a young woman while they were home over the holidays. After accepting the first date and breaking it, she agreed to a second one. As Peter was driving to pick her up, he called to double-check her address only to be told she was still at a previous engagement. Naturally, Peter expected she'd call back when she was free -- but she didn't. There was no explanation, no call or text or any further communication. What is happening to young people today? Do texting and online social networking encourage them to avoid simple human kindness and consideration of others? I think these new devices are giving kids an easy way to get out of difficult and uncomfortable situations. They don't have to he...

There was no further communication. What is happening to young people today? Do texting and online social networking encourage them to avoid consideration of others? My thoughtful, sensitive son sat home thinking he wasn't important enough for an explanation! At 26, he's beginning to think he should just focus on finishing school and forget the dating scene.
Critics have lavished exuberant praise on the work of Memphis- reared fiction writer Steve Stern. Still, his book sales have always been modest. An editor at The New York Times described the Stern phenomenon in 2005, under the headline "He's a Literary Darling Looking for Dear Readers." Stern's spectacular novel "The Angel of Forgetfulness" had just been released when Peter Edidin wrote: "He has received critical praise in the places that matter, won his share of prizes and is devoted to his work. ... But he remains largely unknown to readers at a time when even the most gifted writer, if he does not sell well, may have difficulty finding a publisher for his next book.
By Peter H. Gott, M.D. DEAR DR. GOTT: My son is 38 years old. A few months ago, he went out of town to have a physical before he applied for insurance. Everything was normal except for his triglyceride level, which was over 800. He went back two months later for a retest after watching his diet, and the level went down to 300.
It's funny how things evolve, constantly change, then seem to revert back in a full circle. Many years ago my now dear friend Peter's wife and my wife worked together as teachers. Their school held a talent show for all of the teachers, and a party after. Peter asked me at the party whether I knew any particularly good litigation attorneys. I told him I did, and I suggested several names to him. Since I didn't know him, I had no way of understanding that despite his gruff exterior, he actually had a heart of gold, and really was more of a teddy bear than a grizzly.
VATICAN CITY - Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, a strict doctrinal conservative who believes the church should fiercely resist the pressures of secularism, emerged from St. Peter's Basilica on Tuesday as Pope Benedict XVI. Dear brothers and sisters, after the great Pope John Paul II, the cardinals have elected me - a simple, humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord," the 78-year-old pontiff said in Italian to a buoyant international crowd of tens of thousands of people in St. Peter's Square.
DEAR KELSEY, Sam and Peter, I thought I was going to be a better mother than my mother at least when it came to drugs and sex and alcohol. Unlike my mother, I know where hickeys come from. I know what pot smells like. If I hear about people playing Quarters, I dont think its a math game.
