Dear Prudence The Selfish Gene My father doesn't want to find his biological family—but I do.

Dear Prudie, My father was adopted as a baby in the 1950s. About all I know is that his birth parents eventually married and that he has full brothers and sisters. He does not want to know anything about his biological family, and I respect that, I really do. However, my husband and I want to have children in the near future and I feel it is important to have a more complete family medical history, though it's not that the presence of some horrible disease will likely sway our decision. (My niece does have a rare, genetic blood disorder which my mother points out could be from her side of the family.) I have asked my mother many times over the years how I can get this information, to no avail. I've thought about hiring someone to track down the biological family or having genetic testing done, but these things are simply too expensive. My mom supports my dad's decision to know nothing and feels that it is not my business to ask such questions. My dad doesn't have much adoptive family ... To continue reading, click here.

Politics: If I Were King ...

Politics If I Were King ... Newt Gingrich is the only candidate who knows what he'd actually do as president. By John Dickerson Posted Thursday, Dec 01, 2011, at 12:39 AM ET When a presidential candidate makes a promise, it's always useful to ask: How are you going to pull that off? There usually isn't an answer. Health care will be repealed, the budget balanced, and 15-minute brownies made in 10. Newt Gingrich is the only candidate who talks about how he would actually enact some of the promises he makes and the changes he would bring to the office of the presidency. Whether you agree with him or not, this is a useful and laudable thing. Candidates should be able to show that they have some concept of how to engage the massively complex organization they hope to take hold of. This would tell us something about them, and force those of us casting votes to be more realistic about what presidents can accomplish. Gingrich, for his part, has shown that he is occasionally willing to be a realist even when it gets him in trouble with his own party. On the issue of illegal immigration he has made the obvious point that the government does not have the resources to round up 11 million illegal immigrants, and, perhaps more important, from a moral standpoint it is unlikely Americans would support deporting model citizens who have lived in their communities for 25 years. In May, Gingrich criticized Rep. Paul Ryan's budget plan as "right-wing social engineering" that was too aggressive to win the support of the public. "If you're dealing with something as big as Medicare and ... To continue reading, click here. Join the Fray: our reader discussion forum What did you think of this article?

Arts: Gay Marriage on TV

Brow Beat Gay Marriage on TV: Keep It Real  By June Thomas Posted Thursday, Dec 01, 2011, at 10:09 PM ET I was all set to be hurt, outraged, and offended when I heard that two of the female characters in TV Land's Hot in Cleveland had "accidentally" gotten married in the show's Season 2 finale this summer. How typical, I huffed: treating same-sex marriage like a second-rate union, suitable only for an antic punch line. After all, this wasn't the sitcom world's first fake gay marriage. In Season 6 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Charlie (Charlie Day) and Frank (Danny DeVito), who already share a bed platonically, got married for the benefits (not that either of them had health insurance to confer). The apparently widespread belief that extending marriage rights to same-sex couples guarantees an uptick in sham unions (see also I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry) is tiresome, but we're talking about It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia here. (It's too dark for me, and I'm from Manchester.) In Season 4 of The New Adventures of Old Christine, Christine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) married her friend Barb (Wanda Sykes) to prevent the latter's deportation. It took a few episodes before the dim-bulb characters realized that, thanks to the Defense of Marriage Act, marrying another woman would do nothing to help Barb stay in the States. This rankled. Even though Old Christine was a resolutely pro-gay show, and even though Sykes is an out lesbian herself, the treatment of the marriage felt problematic. It's the newspaper "error on the front page ... To continue reading, click here. Join the Fray: our reader discussion forum What did you think of this article?

Moneybox: Air Fail

Moneybox Air Fail Blame Jimmy Carter for all the airline bankruptcies. Or better yet, thank him. By Matthew Yglesias Posted Thursday, Dec 01, 2011, at 08:51 PM ET American Airlines' parent company, AMR Corporation, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday, surprising exactly no one. A major corporate bankruptcy is normally a bit of a shock, but there's nothing shocking about bankruptcy in the American passenger air business, where filings are way more common than crashes. Frontier Airlines filed in 2008, Delta and Northwest both filed in 2005 (and later merged), and United and U.S. Airways filed in 2002 and then again in 2004. TWA went down in 2001 as part of an acquisition by the now-bankrupt American Airlines. Pan Am, of course, went out of business entirely 10 years before that, only to re-emerge as a short-lived television show about the glories of air travel in the era before constant bankruptcy. And those are only the big ones. All told there have been 189 airline bankruptcy filings in America since 1990. Why? You can blame Jimmy Carter for the bankruptcies. Or perhaps you ought to thank him. Airline bankruptcies are a bit unusual in that they're aimed more at labor unions than at creditors. American Airlines is certainly burdened by debts, but it's been a bad credit risk for long enough that most of its debt is "secured"—backed by physical assets like airplanes that can be repossessed if it tries to default. So there are some unsecured creditors who'll lose out, but the real aim of the filing, in the words of S&P 500 analyst Philip Baggaley is to ... To continue reading, click here.
