Says Orin ("Spike") Tyson, a friend and employee of O'Hair's who is now living, albeit embattled, in the house on Greystone Drive: "She went out in public and made it acceptable to at least say the A word.

It's tempting to do so when your offspring is crossing over from the things of a child to the things of an adult. I ruled out exchanging any confidences in the crossover areas of drugs, drink and sex, although a parent should counsel...
