Ask Dr. Stoner




Q: How can you be certain that a hero of your youth has been completely marginalized?

A: When the New York Times runs its painful account of his final years in the Fashion & Style section.

Q: Are there any disturbing roadside attractions in the Lake George area?

A: Yes.

Q: My friend has an out-of-control record-buying habit. I'm reluctant to intervene, but I want to be there for him when he cries out for help. What to do?

A: When he lists "Kraftwerk, Minimum Maximum (Astralwerk, 4-LP boxed set, new, $45)" among his recent acquisitions--well, that's the clearest cry for help I can imagine. Rush to his aid!

Q: Will the Detroit Tigers clinch the AL East today?

A: Without a doubt.
