Alaska image vs reality in national poll shows misperceptions
Juneau Alaska Governor commissions a national pop quiz revealing Americans favor Alaska yet misjudge its facts. Only 5 percent of Alaska is year round ice and snow while many still think the state is mostly glaciers. About one in eight Americans view Alaska as a separate country. Most have never visited but rate Alaska positively for beauty and space. Pollster Dave Dittman notes increased knowledge could improve perceptions.

A mother new to Arizona asks how to cope with loneliness as she lacks a local support network. Dr Dobson suggests joining Mothers of Preschoolers and similar groups, noting the decline of extended family support. He also addresses baby temperament, arguing that newborns are unique and not blank slates, a view supported by mothers’ observations and early research.
