With more single people now than in the past 30 years, a lot of human affection, and cash, is being spent on pets. "For people who don't have children, animals are as dear," says Steve Cohen, the owner of Miami Beach's Dog Bar, which offers organic food for dogs, such as $30-per-lb. beef patties.

Since its official debut a year ago, the column has appeared in more than 400 newspapers. ("Dear Abby," which has been around almost 50 years, appears in more than 1,400.) "I thought I had a really good idea, but I didn't know how it would go over," says Miller. "I was surprised by its success at first, but then after two months I knew...
...with the U.S. and China to negotiate a possible end to North Korea's nuclear program. Finally, it seemed, the threat posed by unstable dictator Kim Jong Il holding his finger over the button was about to be defused. This week, however, North Korea reminded the world how perilous Dear Leader dealings were by announcing it had begun reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods into weapons-grade plutonium...
