...nearly five decades, Catcher in the Rye and the character of Holden Caulfield have been the example of adolescent alienation. Holden's alienation and despair are served up to young minds without much context or perspective. Young people today need a catcher in the rye to keep them from the steep cliffs of nihilism and moral relativism that are sold to them in popular media and in the classroom. Hats off to the youth workers who are catching kids right and left every day before they go over the cliff. PAUL SAILHAMER Fullerton, Calif...
Some argue that if a parent is O.K. with his teen's seeing an R-rated flick, he can just buy the kid's ticket himself and be on his way. Um, no. Not only is this an incredibly embarrassing situation for young teens, possibly on their first date, but it might not even be allowed. When Scream came out, I was eager to see it; and my dad drove me, a couple of friends and my younger brother to the theater and went in to buy us tickets. They informed him that he would have to go into...
...that the middle-aged Mikhail Baryshnikov has retrofitted himself as a modern dancer, what young hotshot is going to fill his ballet slippers? A.B.T.'s Ethan Stiefel debuted in the Baryshnikov role of Twyla Tharp's Push Comes to Shove in New York City last week, giving a performance that had the stylistic curiosity, the eye-grabbing virtuosity--everything, in fact, but Misha's sly wit.

...provide your kids with so much food, fun and comfort that they'll have nothing (much) to complain about. As long as you pack the contents of the toy chest, a stroller, booster seat, white-noise machine and night light, it's easy to placate babies and very young children, who are highly portable and often refreshingly inarticulate. Five-to-12-year-olds, on the other hand, require distraction from their two main travel pastimes: whining and bathroom humor. Fortunately, companies like Klutz and Rand McNally make great travel games and activity books to help you provide just that...
...great frustrations of traveling with children--the unpredictability of it all--can also be its greatest pleasure. For instance, to protect the beige carpeting in a hotel room they stayed in a few years back, Heather Rosett and her husband Charles let their two young sons eat pizza in the bathtub; that desperate measure is now de rigueur on all their family trips. On a business trip to New York City, Candyce Stapen took her daughter to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see an exhibit of Impressionist paintings but wound up, at her daughter's insistence, counting the dogs...
