40 YEARS AT THE POST

Letters

DEAD WRONG • Why do we allow our loved ones to suffer in ways we would find unconscionable for our pets? It’s time to stop this torture

FUNNY BUSINESS • Improbable as it may seem, the comedy club scene is booming across America

GOING SOUTH • My somewhat dubious plan to ride a 1974 Triumph Bonneville 2,000 miles along the Mississippi River

CLASS OF ’41 • In 2001, on a beautiful spring weekend, I accompanied my mother to her 60th college reunion and got a glimpse of the young woman she once was

PETS WITH BENEFITS

Apps for Outdoor Junkies • Adventure awaits at your fingertips with these free apps

APROPOS OF NOTHING

Seriously Good Films • Noted film critic Bill Newcott, creator of AARP’s “Movies for Grownups,” offers his picks

TOP 10 READS • Every month, Amazon staffers sift through hundreds of new books searching for gems. Here’s what Amazon editor Chris Schluep chose especially for Post readers this season:

Indefenceable Neighbors

The Logophile

NICK NOLTE • That bad-boy reputation? He encouraged it. Anything’s better than being boring

Ice Jewels

THE BEST PACKABLE UMBRELLA

LET’S LET GO OF THE SACRED SCRIPT

PRESERVING OUR WWII POW CAMPS • In the American heartland, the war was very far away, and the young German prisoners interned there seemed an awful lot like us. We treated them royally

ALLIES ON THE HOME FRONT: ITALIAN POWS • After Italy switched sides in 1943, most Italian POWs in the U.S. agreed to aid the Allied effort by joining Italian Service Units, receiving in exchange a modest salary and enjoying special privileges that prompted accusations of coddling war prisoners, as reported in this excerpt from a 1945 Post article

Forever Young • At some point in time, baby boomers decided en masse not to behave like grown-ups of previous American generations. Repercussions range from the benign to the unfortunate

LEARNING FROM LEONARDO • We may never be able to match the talents of one of history’s greatest geniuses, but his life offers a wealth of lessons — here are 20 of them

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN Luck • Some people really are luckier than others, but their good fortune is more than just fate

AN ADORING TRIBUTE • An old Jewish proverb says that God couldn’t be everywhere, so He created mothers. And mothers do have certain godlike qualities. Not only do they give us life, but they are our counselors, confidantes, protectors, disciplinarians, and teachers. But for all their love and sacrifice, moms seldom get the recognition they deserve. In the following pages, the Post commemorates the fun — and just as frequently the frustration — that motherhood entails.

The Conscience of the Court
