...here finally was a major network with something to really be happy about. Thanks to "Survivor," the network has not only handed Matthew Perry and Lisa Kudrow's butts to them, but it's become, in the repeated words of the execs on stage at Carnegie Hall, "younger and more affluent." In other words, more successful by the same standards that, a couple years ago, the network with the oldest audience in network TV said were bogus and unfair. Back then, at the home of Dick Van Dyke, the 18-49 demographic was an ageist advertisers' shibboleth; today, the network...
...Since then, Crosby's star has not disappeared, but it has dimmed. In "The Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz," a standard reference, Crosby gets less space than his younger brother Bob, who fronted a Dixieland band in the '30s and beyond, and who may be the only bandleader of the time who could not play an instrument.

It’s a perfect example of the false perception that Republicans are a cabal of heartless millionaires who don’t give a damn about anything but their bank accounts...
...delicate one. According to Anthony Jurich, professor of family studies and human services at Kansas State University, anyone with a say in creating such a family structure should ask three questions: "First, what is the responsibility level of the older sibling(s)? Second, to what degree does the younger sibling agree to this? And finally, what is the nature of the relationship between the siblings?" If the siblings have a hierarchical relationship, Jurich maintains, the transition can be a lot smoother, and the siblings are less likely to become entangled in power conflicts...
