You saw the play when it first came out. Now you are watching the movie that followed. It was great drama, to be sure, the first time around. It was tragedy, not comedy. It is being replayed right now, with the first scene, set in Virginia, just completed. Donald J. Trump and Joe
Dear Doctors: I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old son, and I've lost some weight. I'm naturally thin, but my sister thinks my baby is not getting the nutrients he needs. The pediatrician says my son is doing great, but I'm worried. Do I need to switch to formula?

DEAR HARRIETTE: My girlfriend is talking about marriage way too soon in our relationship. We've only been dating for five months. We are having a great time together – that's true. But everything is still new, and she already jokes about the engagement ring she wants. I am sure the jokes are just jokes, but I feel that with every joke there is some truth.

Should I tell her that she's moving a little too fast for me? – Too Soon D
There’s been a lot of attention paid to President Joe Biden’s falling job approval rating. And it is indeed going down, down, down. But along with confidence in the president, the public is also losing faith in the Democratic Party’s ability to handle the issues that most concern voters today. It’s been a long fall for both Biden and his party since they narrowly won control in Washington one year ago this week.
