Researchers say family caregivers too often exhaust themselves, their relationships and their finances in caring for an older relative--caregivers spend about $1.5 billion each month out of pocket, for instance. The strain is often made worse by the fact that families aren't prepared for the role of caregiver. In addition to coping with the sadness of a loved one's illness, they simply don't know what to do or where to turn to relieve the burden.

...Rockwell's democratic spirit can't blind you to the fact that so many of his pictures really are the insipid jokes and consoling fictions they were always said to be.

Why can't our government recognize success for what it is--hard work...
...wonder if Monopoly was one of those favorite games that Gates and his family liked to play when he was growing up. Despite the fact that little Billy's friends are upset because he owns all of the good properties and has hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place, one still has to give him credit. Gates has made it his business to remember those in this world who are born into absolute poverty. For instance, he recently donated $250 million to the Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization--and that's not play money. BARBARA J. HALEY Victoria...
