Letter from Memphis Dear Ann Landers: The letter from "Depressed Old Prof in New Orleans" is absolutely correct. As a professor, I can attest to that. As colleges and universities admit underprepared students in order to collect their tuition, the pressure is on to give them passing grades. Three years ago, I was called into the dean's office to discuss my performance. Among other things, I was told (and I quote), "I don't care what you have to do. More students must succeed in your classes." The unstated but clear implication was to lower the standards in order to move those students along. The next year, and even greater percentage of students "did not succeed," so I flunked them. I simply could not and would not pass students who had not mastered the material, regardless of the consequences. If I hadn't had tenure, I would surely have been fired. I get no satisfaction out of having a high percentage of my students fail. In fact, it makes me sad when this happens. But that's the way it is today in Tennessee and, I'm sure, in a good many other places. - Old Prof in Memphis

Ann Landers Landers, whose real name was Esther Lederer, said she drew on her instincts when passing along advice to people. But Landers also consulted experts when she felt unqualified to answer certain questions. Her responses were sprinkled with humour and one-line zingers, including the now-famous phrase, "Wake up and smell the coffee," which became the title of one of her books. Topics ranged from food to finances, with a good number tackling sex. There was also everyday fluff, including the perennially popular debate over which direction toilet paper should hang off a roll. Not fond of computers, Lederer would sit at a typewriter and respond to hundreds of letters a day from an office in her high-rise apartment in Chicago. "Eppie Lederer was a great columnist and a wonderful person, said John W. Madigan, chairman and CEO of Tribune Co. "She helped people with her advice, and made important contributions to society through the causes she supported." Sister was 'Dear Abby' Decades later, when Pauline became "Dear Abby" with an advice column of her own, the sisters reportedly fought for several years before finally reconciling.

About Confidence Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It's the sure footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life. About Judgment One out of four people in this country is mentally imbalanced. Think of your three closest friends. If they seem okay, then you're the one. About Speaking The trouble with talking too fast is you may say something you haven't thought of yet. About Opportunity Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. About Children What the vast majority of American children needs is to stop being pampered, stop being indulged, stop being chauffeured, stop being catered to. In the final analysis it is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings. About Character Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.

A Life in Letters: Ann Landers' Letters to Her Only Child AUTHOR: Margo Howard (Author) ISBN: 0446532711 Compare price for this book Editorial Review from Amazon A Life in Letters: Ann Landers' Letters to Her Only Child - Book Review, by Margo Howard (Author) From Publishers Weekly From Booklist Howard, the only child of Landers (aka Eppie Ledderer), has already written a memoir of her mother, so this time out she offers a book comprised of the letters sent to her by Eppie, organized chronologically by events in Howard's life. This is not a particularly satisfying approach, especially in the early going when Howard is in college, and there's not much of general interest. Things pick up as Landers becomes more famous and begins hobnobbing with celebrities. Still, to protect her mother and others, Howard leaves out many names, the most intriguing being the married man with whom Landers had an affair after her divorce. Ilene Cooper About the Author Margo Howard lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with her husband. Book Description America's most beloved columnist shares 40 years of advice through letters to her only child, published here for the first time.In this witty, wise, and intensely personal collection of letters to her daughter Margo, Ann Landers delivers her own unintentional memoir. The volume is both a moving portrait of a mother/daughter relationship and a keen social history of America between 1958 and 2001. Peppered with incisive information and gossip, Esther "Eppie" Lederer (Landers' real name) offers insight on everything from marriage and divorce to growing up and growing old. A first-hand account of the myriad changes in attitudes and mores spanning the last half of the last century, readers will delight in Landers' signature practical wisdom and sharp eye for the absurd. As funny and loving as they are stern and acerbic, these letters reveal the real woman behind the Ann Landers monikera spectacularly original writer, wife, and mother.

R E L A T E D T O P I C S T H E A U T H O R Paul Varnell S U M M A R Y For most of her career, and even into the 1990s, the late and widely lamented Ann Landers was no friend of gays. With her insistence that homosexuality was a disorder whose sufferers were "wretched" and "miserable," she was more like "Dr. Laura" Schlessinger than Dear Abby. S U P P O R T Donate to IGF Good-bye, Eppie By Paul Varnell First appeared Sept. 11, 2002, in the Chicago Free Press. TWO YEARS AFTER the American Psychiatric Association and American Psychological Association declared that homosexuality was not a mental illness, Chicago-based syndicated advice columnist Eppie Lederer, known to millions as "Ann Landers," would have none of it. She knew better: "I do not believe homosexuality is just another lifestyle. I believe these people suffer from a serious personality disorder. Some are sicker than others, but sick they are and all the fancy rhetoric by the American Psychiatric Association will not change it." You can hardly miss the tone of Lily Tomlin's character Ernestine from the telephone company: "WE are the advice columnist. WE are omniscient."

A letter to Ann Landers that appeared in the Bakersfield Californian on Friday November 29, 1996 Dear Ann Landers: You've gone to bat for people in may professions. I guarantee millions of my co-workers will thank you if you give us equal time. I deliver pizzas, and mu salary is only minimum wage, plus tips. If business is slow, I may work only a couple hours a day. Decent tips are vital. Last night, I delivered an order for $25.69, and the customer told me to "keep the change" after handing me $26. Of course, tipping is not mandatory, and there are some people who want every cent of their change back and don't tip at all. But most of us would rather be stiffed completely than get a 31 cent tip. We consider that a major insult. So, to our valued customers, if you tip your pizza deliverer, please give us at least a dollar. It's humiliating to smile and say, "Thank you," for a few pennies. Stiffed in Dallas Dear Stiffed: Here is your letter and I sincerely hope my readers will take seriously what you have written. What some folks don't understand is that delivery people are paid a very modest salary. It is expected that they will recieve tips and whatever they get belongs to them. Please, dear readers, if you can afford a $16 pizza, you can surely pay the deliver person $2.50 for bringing it to your door.

Skip to Secondary Navigation Links Home The Foundation Funding Partners A Brief History of the Legendary Columnist Ann Landers' career as a syndicated advice columnist spanned nearly 50 years. The Chicago Tribune was her journalistic home for the past 15 years and her column appeared in more than 1,200 newspapers worldwide, generating more than 2,000 letters each day. Her readers, who numbered close to 90 million and reached into the highest ranges of US society, respected her advice and revered her decades of wise and witty counsel on almost every kind of problem. Landers was widely considered one of the most influential women in America. She was truly a national institution. Ann Landers was born Esther Pauline Friedman on July 4, 1918, in Sioux City, Iowa, along with her identical twin sister, Pauline Ester Friedman, who would become Abigail Van Buren, also known as Dear Abby. Landers' parents were Russian immigrants who owned movie theaters. According to Landers, she owed a lot to her parents and her Midwest upbringing. A Tribune reporter interviewing her several years ago quoted Landers' as saying, "I think that middle-American values have helped me tremendously the principles, the morality. It was a place where neighbors cared about neighbors. And I mean really cared." As a Chicagoan, Esther Lederer would become the world's second Ann Landers. The first Landers was a nurse named Ruth Crowley. Crowley had written an advice column in the Chicago Sun-Times and when she died, the Sun-Times held a competition to choose a successor. Competition contestants, including Landers, were asked to respond to identical questions just as a columnist would.

Ann Landers Ann Landers really strikes out on a question about public etiquette contributed by Scott Miller Considering that Ann Landers has come a long way from her severely homophobic origins, and generally has good advice on same-sex issues, today's column was like a blast of frigid wind from the Dark Ages. It was so bad, in fact, that it calls for a separate Action Alert. In her lead story June 25th, Landers responds to a letter from a 35-year old woman who has just come out of the closet. The woman feels that she is accepted by her family, until the dreaded moment at her nephew's birthday party when she dared to place her hand on her partner's leg while sitting on the sofa. Now, despite apologizing for having had the audacity to show minimal affection for "the love of (her) life," she has been told that she is no longer welcome in her sister's house. So how did Ann respond?

(Photo: AP) Buy "America's Mom: The Life, Lessons, and Legacy of Ann Landers" (CBS) For almost 50 years, millions wrote to Ann Landers to seek advice about everything getting along with in-laws, how to break up affairs, what to do about nosy neighbors and the correct way to hang toilet paper. Most readers say she never failed to give good solid advice. Rick Kogan, Landers' last editor, has written about her remarkable career in his new book, "America's Mom: The Life, Lessons and Legacy of Ann Landers." Award-winning journalist Kogan tells The Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm it is the story of Iowa-born “Eppy” and her identical twin sister “Popo,” who became known as “Dear Abby.” “Two Jewish girls born on the 4th of July and who go on to become the most famous people, arguably in the world in their time. They were both named the most influential women in the world at various times in the ‘70s,” Kogan says. The independent housewife, Eppy Lederer, was first hired by the Chicago Sun-Times to take over the daily advice column in 1955. Kogan says, “She came into a business that was basically...on its last legs. Whoever was referring to the papers about cheating husbands or bad kids or parents who didn’t understand them was getting the answers: Well, try to move on, dear. All of a sudden, in 1955, here comes this woman with snappy answers, with funny answers.”

Nelson Mandela Ann Landers' Biography Advice columnist Born Esther Pauline "Eppie" Friedman on July 4, 1918, 9.52 am local time, in Sioux City, Iowa. (source: DAV database) Landers earned a devoted following for her guidance and advice to the perplexed. Her no-nonsense, witty style signaled a departure from the priggish morality that previously dominated the genre. She also won many public service awards for her open discussions of medical issues. Landers was the third of four daughters born to Russian immigrants from Vladivostok. Landers' father, Abraham Friedman, initially made his living selling chickens out of a wagon. A true rags-to-riches story, Friedman would eventually own movie theaters in three states. Landers grew up in Sioux City, where she also attended Morningside College. In 1939, she left school to marry Jules Lederer, a hat salesman. Shortly after, the couple moved to Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where she became involved in local Democratic politics. By 1955, Landers then known as Eppie Lederer had settled in Chicago. Although she enjoyed an affluent lifestyle, the energetic socialite was dissatisfied with mere domestic duties and cast around looking for a project. The local Democratic chieftains would have little to do with her, fearing her staunchly liberal politics.

Messing with Ann Landers' Mind Dear Ann, I've always loved your column, and I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I'm a middle-aged professional gambler whose daughter is marrying a member of the Shanghai Triad, which has a death warrant on my head and has sent bounty hunters after me. I want to be there for my daughter on her special day, but it looks like I'll be mercilessly gunned down in the church if I attend. So my question is: should I wear white shoes or black shoes to the wedding? Sincerely, Hunted in Vegas, Dear Hunted, I think black is more appropriate for formal occasions. Dear Ann, I'm a utility-maximinzing robot made out of gold flying in a hang-glider over the ocean. Before me are two adjacent islands, one with five dying elderly people, the other with three middle-aged people and a chest of gold. I can rescue whatever is on one of the islands. However, because of the wind currents, I can not turn around and make a second pass to rescue those on the other island. Which of the two groups should I rescue? Please write back soon, the hang-glider is moving very fast. Sincerely
