Dear Ann Landers,
as it ever occurred to you that your advice may be getting a little moth-eaten? You ought to re-examine your antiquated approach to alcohol and tone down your insistent lectures on the "evils" of drinking. Recent developments are making you look pretty stupid, Ann. Just a few weeks ago, I read that a Harvard professor who is an au-thority on alcoholism believes that children should be taught to drink liquor at an early age. He claims that if children grow up to accept liquor as just another ordinary beverage and not a devil in a bottle, they will attach no special significance to liquor and their chances for developing an unhealthy craving for it will be greatly reduced. I agree with the professor that the reason there are so many alco-holics around is because liquor was forbidden to them and they never learned how to handle it properly. I hope you will be big enough to print this letter and your answer. If you can think of one.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
