...last time Kerry spoke to Kennedy was a little less than two weeks ago. Kerry had just had hip-replacement surgery - he is still using a cane during his recovery - and Kennedy called to check on him. "And I said, What the hell are you doing calling me when you have so many other things to think about? It was typical of Teddy," Kerry says. Kerry last saw Kennedy a few weeks ago, when the two sat on the Kennedy compound porch in Hyannis Port, Mass. "You know, he couldn't put all things together at that point...
...Never mind that no one has actually proposed any such plan for the U.S. President Obama has talked about whether it made sense for his dying grandmother to receive a hip replacement.

Sales associates dance to hip-hop music in the aisles. There's not one "For Sale" sign in the whole four-story place. A pair of men's ripped jeans go for $90; women's jeans are $80; a hooded sweatshirt with the Abercrombie logo...
...freshman year in college may be so exhausting (hip-hop lessons! swim team! traveling soccer leagues!) that parents feel they hardly know each other - and, sometimes, themselves. "One of the most common things we hear is, 'We're sitting at the breakfast table, just the two of us, and we don't know what to talk about,' " says David Arp, who led an empty-nest training session with his wife last month at the annual Smart Marriages conference in Orlando, Fla. Carmen Hough, 55, who this spring completed a 12-week workshop in Jonesboro, Ga., puts it more bluntly...
