- Healso reports that hospital

example, in New York City
‘there are fewer than 100

Crucial in a company

.. Your advice stank again. I refer

to the 20-year mistress of the
married man. She said she had
_ given him the only love he had
ever known and now that he had
. suffered two coronaries she was
wondering. about her rightful
place at the funeral If he should
die. The woman wrote a very
poignant letter. She said that
after 20 years of devotion she
was entitled ta some status. You

‘told her (in your usual cold-

blooded way) that in our
cultural setup, a married man's
mistress has no status — his
wife gets It all.

Don't you see how rotten and
unfair this is? Open your eyes
and start to give some decent
advice, Or quit,.— Hal’sTrue

DEAR LOVE: It may be
unfair, but I believe in telling it
like it is. And this is the way it
is.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: I
just read the letter from the
person in Syracuse whose
brother had not spoken to his
parents for two years. Your
answer burned me up. You said
it is “‘umspeakably cruel” to cut
parents out of one’s life,

What about parents who cut
children out of their lives? I
don’t mean by not speaking to
them. I mean by simply
ignoring them: I have the most
selfish ‘iricthe® ‘who‘ever lived.
