My Stepmother? But She’s 19!

When your father, who’s in his 60s, is engaged to a much-younger woman, it’s not crazy to be concerned. But things could also work out just fine.

I don't know how to deal with the list.
There are very few left who should be asked to attend.

He only changes the tone.

Standard products.

The Broken Promises of Nursing Homes

Readers offer their stories about short staffing and caregivers gaming the system.

The Nursing Homes do not do their job.
I fear the prospect.

Opinion

One Cheer for Whataboutism

The gambit has its rhetorical limitations, and it’s commonly abused, but when applied rigorously it’s not a bad little argument.

The question is always how best to advance.

Whataboutism advances nothing.
