...home an hour earlier than expected. I found my son and his girlfriend (both had just turned 15) having sex in our backyard hot tub, music blasting, drinking wine, not using birth control, in broad daylight! After the initial shock, I immediately phoned the girl's mother (a single parent with a live-in boyfriend) and asked her to come right over. I phoned her two more times during the hour it took her to get to my home (she lives five minutes away). With parents like that, it's no wonder that so many kids are out of control...
...YORK: Stock in Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has gained 40 percent over the last 18 months -- which is pretty good. But Murdoch's archrival Time Warner (parent company of TIME Daily) is up 127 percent over the same period. Rupert wants to catch up, which is the main reason why News Corp. announced Monday that it would be offering 20 percent of its sexiest subsidiary, the Fox Group -- home to the Fox television network, the 20th Century Fox movie studio and the Los Angeles Dodgers -- to the public in a stock offering later this year.

What is disturbing to me when people here are talking about me or about other scholarship students from Bulgaria is that every parent (among the ones I have met) seems to know of some bright kid or some bright relative who has "succeeded" and is living abroad, either working or studying on scholarship.

...fair for children to be used as pawns by one parent to punish the other? My ex-wife and Faye Yager, who runs an illegal underground network, don't speak for my children. They don't speak for me. Yet, in concert, they removed my daughters' rights to see me and my rights as a parent to see them. I find that reprehensible. One of your readers characterized Yager as a saint. Mother Teresa was a saint. She never broke the law or lived a life-style separate from that of the people she helped. Yager is no Mother Teresa...
...ability to reach a population in desperate need of information--a skill he first discovered 15 years ago as a medical student in California. When two disc-jockey acquaintances were starting a new show on relationships, they asked him to be the medical consultant. Pinsky, now a happily married parent of triplets, had sensed that young people were not receiving much sex education from their parents--a result of what he calls the 1970s "abdication of parenting" ethos. But he was stunned by the response to the first few shows. "It was an epiphany. The most important health issues...
