Dean Phillips — liquor heir, gelato prince, step-grandson of the advice columnist Dear Abby, and Democratic congressman from Minnesota — is challenging Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination for president. Phillips filed his paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night.
Phillips will officially announce in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Friday, which is the deadline to appear on the primary ballot in the state. To call his candidacy a longshot is an understatement, but Phillips has a good shot of winning the Democratic primary in New Hampshire — because Biden will not appear on the ballot.

Natalie Portman has closed a deal to direct and star in an untitled biopic about the identical twin sisters who wrote advice columns as Abigail Van Buren and Ann Landers.
The sisters were born in 1918. Dear Abby was launched in 1956 by Pauline Esther Friedman in the San Francisco Chronicle. Her twin sister was born Esther Pauline Friedman and won a contest in 1955 to take over the “Ask Ann Landers” advice column in the Chicago Sun-Times.
Both used straightforward styles in dispensing common-sense advice. The competing columns led to the sisters having a bitter professional rivalry that lasted the rest of their lives.
Portman will play both sisters for the project. Katie Robbins, a producer and staff writer on the TV series “The Affair,” wrote the script. Producers are Peter Saraf and Dani Melia of Big Beach Films. Saraf received a best picture Oscar nomination for “Little Miss Sunshine” and has credits on “Loving,...

Dear Abby she’s not. When best-selling novelist and “Wild” memoirist Cheryl Strayed took on the anonymous online advice column “Dear Sugar,” she brought her writerly sensibility and many contradictions to the task — as well as a willingness to share her own messy personal life with readers. That radical candor is on full display in “Tiny Beautiful Things,” a 90-minute adaptation of Strayed’s collected advice columns that re-opened Monday at Off Broadway’s Public Theater in New York. (The show had a brief, sold-out run last fall at the Public’s smallest performance space.) Nia Vardalos, best known for writing and starring in.

A great pleasure of travel is the Great American Local Newspaper, where it still exists. In and around San Luis Obispo, in the central coast area of California, that would be the Tribune, which isn't cheap, as newsprint goes. On Tuesday morning, the newsstand price was $1 for all of fourteen pages, some of which went to Dear Abby, horoscopes and a crossword puzzle. But the front page ran hot, with a full-color photo of two members of the Sierra Club's Santa Lucia chapter…...
