A Reynolds Price play on American Playhouse examines a son Logan Melton learning his father Paul Melton kept a secret life. Set in 1945 South, the drama probes parental distance, guilt, and the pull of hidden loyalties amid a poignant funeral backdrop.
A reader condemns Abby for advising a 15 year old to date only someone she could marry within her faith. A dissenting reply praises Abby and recounts a Baptist upbringing and a regret about dating a Jewish boy. The page also includes a note about ripening tomatoes on a windowsill.
A reader asks if belly button orientation matters for tomatoes and about honesty in dating. Dear Abby notes tomato ripening is unaffected by orientation and advises direct honesty over hinting in proposing marriage while giving the correct leap year answer as 1984.

Facing a weak two bid and a takeout double after partner opens, the recommended call is Pass. With 7 2 9 5 9 in clubs and 2 0 1 0 9 8 2 4 in spades plus K Q, this hand favors quiet defense as partner’s spades may be as good as clubs and three clubs likely not better than two spades.
