STILL

Heating

By
Mike Fak
[DEC.
27, 2000] If
John Steinbeck were still alive, I am certain he would not mind my
using the title of one of his classics to categorize the series of
articles I have embarked upon. The book I am talking about is
"The Winter Of Our Discontent." If that isn't a perfect
title for the fuel oil crisis that all of America is facing, I don't
know what would be.

'How
To Talk To Your Child
About Sex'
[DEC.
27, 2000]
"It’s
best to start early, but it’s never too late — a step by step
guide for every age." This statement from the book "How To
Talk To Your Child About Sex" is the foundation for the message
conveyed to the reader. Authors Linda and Richard Eyre have written
a frank and open manual designed to help parents discuss with their
children the important topic of sex.
