...there that Williams met and befriended Josh Stevens, who lives there with his mother Karen and her boyfriend Chris Reynolds, 29. Williams and Stevens soon became inseparable, with Stevens always in the lead. "Andy was a follower," says Dawn Hemming, 32, a hairdresser who is the aunt of one of Williams' close friends. "Josh could manipulate Andy because Andy wanted...
...drugstore on the West Side of Columbus to get the magazine. The drugstore at the end of my street where I bought my copies of "The Fantastic Four," "Nick Fury," and "Spider-man" didn't carry it. We were up on the West Side every weekend anyway, visiting my aunt and my grandparents; it was a short walk and a chance to get away from the adults for a while. My brother Pat and I hit the road...

In many other ways, Hogg's advice sounds obvious. Not only have people like my Aunt Lena been dispensing this kind of wisdom for generations, but also Dr. Spock first published it in Baby and Child Care in 1945. For me, his famous first sentences, "Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do," contain more wisdom than a bassinet full of Baby Whisperers...
