...Bring Me a Coke? TY! As a baby-boom mother of two millennials, I got a chuckle from Nancy Gibbs' Essay [March 22]. The fact that younger people are more optimistic doesn't come without a price. My husband and I pay for college expenses and cell phones and have sent the girls on trips I dreamed of as a child. And one of my daughters lives at home.

...keep both the Soviet Union and the U.S. vulnerable to nuclear attack by forbidding the development of defensive systems. The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks of the same year, which capped the number of weapons allowed each side, set the balance of destructive power at a fixed level.

And while the main lesson I took away from my two days is that technology is a gift from God and should never be turned off - one simple text would have kept Cassandra's friends at the party, which would have led to more drinking and Liberace-level candle lighting - I did learn that I'd rather hang out with my wife and son than find...
...told the cheering crowd. "Thank you for standing up." The events in Arizona and Nevada failed to mask the widening splits in Palin's party about tactics and direction. One sign in Searchlight read: "No more RINOs [Republicans in name only]--Retire McCain." Another said: "Reid-McCain: Two sides of the same damn coin. Vote them...
