...Thank you for highlighting the sad truth about the growing exodus of mothers from the Philippines [Nov. 24]. To many of us, it seems an irreversible phenomenon. Most overseas workers will tell you they had no choice but to leave. A mother's absence has consequences that are often felt intensely by children but not discussed. It's up to every Filipino - not just those who are compelled to work abroad - to think of ways to advance our society and keep our families together. Joy Posadas, Manila...

Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn) is captivating and original, with an audience that goes far beyond pubescent girls. It would be unfortunate if those who have not yet read the books...
...with other charms of southeastern Massachusetts. Stop 1: PLYMOUTH ROCK, the birth canal of America. The rock was identified as the pilgrim’s first landing site—121 years after they landed and 24 miles away from the actual site. As an American, Bilotti of course felt a mystical pull to the rock, like a piece of tape stuck to another piece of tape. Yet bizarrely, the most significant monument in American history did not impress this philistine.Chiappini then took Bilotti to a charming local bistro, Papa Gino’s, to sample the region?...
