Amazon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HBO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the core of the problem for Adobe, the not-buying-books thing. For almost 25 years, it’s stood on 16th Street off Valencia in San Francisco as a repository of the printed word, holding steady in a part of the city still called the Mission but which is beginning to look a little like Tribeca with taquerias. Now Adobe is facing a 50 percent or so rent hike that owner Andrew McKinley says he can’t pay. So the bookstore’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/Adobe-Books/111859948834325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">supporters\u003c/a> are trying to turn it into a collective, with a soon to-be-launched \u003ca href=\"http://www.indiegogo.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indiegogo\u003c/a> campaign. McKinley very much wants the co-op effort to succeed, even though he would no longer be running the show. In regard to this, he is philosophical though not particularly happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s a possibility the store will turn into a cooperative,\" he told me. \"It will be a different store if that happens, with a new business model: new books, remaindered books, T-shirts, artwork.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He finds his predicament ironic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was always waiting for things to get better in the neighborhood, because it was sketchy when I opened. But now it’s funny to be pushed out by economic forces. We never expected this, but in retrospect we had 25 good years. They’ve been the best years of my life.\" \u003c!--more-->Last Wednesday night, Adobe fans gathered to drum up support for the transformation of the store and listen to local authors \u003ca href=\"http://therumpus.net/sections/blogs/stephen-elliott-blogs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stephen Elliott\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rebeccasolnit.com/infinitecity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rebecca Solnit\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/michelle.tea.12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michelle Tea\u003c/a> give readings related to the place and talk about how much they love it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adobe looked spiffed up for the event. Not the most practical place to browse in terms of physical access: The shelves, which have the excessively worn look of the starter furniture you threw out when you got your first real job, are usually and literally overflowing with books that crowd already-narrow aisles. It's not a masterpiece of \u003cem>feng shui -- \u003c/em> more like \u003cem>Das Boot\u003c/em> with a Fiction section. And I wouldn't say the most careful attention has been paid to the categorization scheme. You're as likely to find a pile of paperback thrillers sitting atop a space ostensibly devoted to, say, European history, as you are to find them in their native section.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Start stocking up on memories of what used to be.\u003c/strong>--Rebecca Solnit\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But Adobe never did give the impression it was overly interested in maximizing commerce. It's a definite take-it-or-leave-it type enterprise. At one point, the books were organized by color, the perfect arrangement for those in the mood to read something with a red cover. Then there are the people who regularly hang out on the couches in the middle of the store, snoring or mumbling to no one in particular. Encountering these folks can lead to the momentary impression you’ve stumbled upon break time at a particularly ineffective AA meeting. While a lot of business owners will do whatever they can to ward off the homeless or the overtly destitute, the bar for admittance at Adobe in terms of ability to actually pay for something is non-existent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’ve always enjoyed having all types of people,\" McKinley said. \"It’s one of the most diverse neighborhoods, probably in America. The mix of young and old, rich and poor, homeless and yupster. We’ve been very proud of that. We like to be all-welcoming. We cherish bohemians, and some of the best bohemians are the most down-and-out people. But we could use more wealthy customers at this point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By all public accounts, and many private ones too, McKinley is a proprietor to admire. I don’t know him personally, but he did give me three dollars in trade once for a Françoise Sagan novel, turning it over in his hands before we sealed the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Françoise Sagan,\" he had said, downright wistful. \"I wish I could offer you more.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It stuck in my mind, I guess, because it was the first and only time I’ve ever heard that particular sentiment coming from someone who actually meant it. And also because it seemed to pack into one pregnant exchange so many unpleasant developments for the bookstore lover of today. \"I wish I could offer you more,” might as well have been, \"It’s really too bad people don't buy these things like they used to.\" With the subtext that as far as an appreciation of Françoise Sagan goes, well, that and $3.50 will buy you a local latte.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Solnit, Rebecca's brother, was at the reading. \"His primary logic is not trying to make a buck,\" he said of McKinley. \"It’s harder and harder to find spaces where you can do that in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, I have always wondered how a places like Adobe do make a buck, even when they made more of them. Some of these tomes look like they’ve been sent straight from central casting to populate a cultural institution that has turned a blind eye to mass tastes. \u003cem>New Looks at Italian Opera\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Secret Diary of Harold Ickes\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Listening to Catnip\u003c/em>. I assume the \u003cem>Harry Potter\u003c/em> books are somewhere, but there were about a hundred people in the store Wednesday, creating too many cul de sacs to look for much that wasn't already staring you in the face. Gloomy types may experience a small wave of depression from perusing titles like \u003cem>Birds of the Great Basin\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Year of the Kangaroo\u003c/em>. Someone once labored long and hard over \u003cem>The Year of the Kangaroo\u003c/em>.

Amazon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>HBO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the core of the problem for Adobe, the not-buying-books thing. For almost 25 years, it’s stood on 16th Street off Valencia in San Francisco as a repository of the printed word, holding steady in a part of the city still called the Mission but which is beginning to look a little like Tribeca with taquerias. Now Adobe is facing a 50 percent or so rent hike that owner Andrew McKinley says he can’t pay. So the bookstore’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/Adobe-Books/111859948834325\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">supporters\u003c/a> are trying to turn it into a collective, with a soon to-be-launched \u003ca href=\"http://www.indiegogo.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Indiegogo\u003c/a> campaign. McKinley very much wants the co-op effort to succeed, even though he would no longer be running the show. In regard to this, he is philosophical though not particularly happy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s a possibility the store will turn into a cooperative,\" he told me. \"It will be a different store if that happens, with a new business model: new books, remaindered books, T-shirts, artwork.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He finds his predicament ironic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was always waiting for things to get better in the neighborhood, because it was sketchy when I opened. But now it’s funny to be pushed out by economic forces. We never expected this, but in retrospect we had 25 good years. They’ve been the best years of my life.\" \u003c!--more-->Last Wednesday night, Adobe fans gathered to drum up support for the transformation of the store and listen to local authors \u003ca href=\"http://therumpus.net/sections/blogs/stephen-elliott-blogs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stephen Elliott\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.rebeccasolnit.com/infinitecity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rebecca Solnit\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/michelle.tea.12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michelle Tea\u003c/a> give readings related to the place and talk about how much they love it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adobe looked spiffed up for the event. Not the most practical place to browse in terms of physical access: The shelves, which have the excessively worn look of the starter furniture you threw out when you got your first real job, are usually and literally overflowing with books that crowd already-narrow aisles. It's not a masterpiece of \u003cem>feng shui -- \u003c/em> more like \u003cem>Das Boot\u003c/em> with a Fiction section. And I wouldn't say the most careful attention has been paid to the categorization scheme. You're as likely to find a pile of paperback thrillers sitting atop a space ostensibly devoted to, say, European history, as you are to find them in their native section.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Start stocking up on memories of what used to be.\u003c/strong>--Rebecca Solnit\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But Adobe never did give the impression it was overly interested in maximizing commerce. It's a definite take-it-or-leave-it type enterprise. At one point, the books were organized by color, the perfect arrangement for those in the mood to read something with a red cover. Then there are the people who regularly hang out on the couches in the middle of the store, snoring or mumbling to no one in particular. Encountering these folks can lead to the momentary impression you’ve stumbled upon break time at a particularly ineffective AA meeting. While a lot of business owners will do whatever they can to ward off the homeless or the overtly destitute, the bar for admittance at Adobe in terms of ability to actually pay for something is non-existent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’ve always enjoyed having all types of people,\" McKinley said. \"It’s one of the most diverse neighborhoods, probably in America. The mix of young and old, rich and poor, homeless and yupster. We’ve been very proud of that. We like to be all-welcoming. We cherish bohemians, and some of the best bohemians are the most down-and-out people. But we could use more wealthy customers at this point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By all public accounts, and many private ones too, McKinley is a proprietor to admire. I don’t know him personally, but he did give me three dollars in trade once for a Françoise Sagan novel, turning it over in his hands before we sealed the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Françoise Sagan,\" he had said, downright wistful. \"I wish I could offer you more.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It stuck in my mind, I guess, because it was the first and only time I’ve ever heard that particular sentiment coming from someone who actually meant it. And also because it seemed to pack into one pregnant exchange so many unpleasant developments for the bookstore lover of today. \"I wish I could offer you more,” might as well have been, \"It’s really too bad people don't buy these things like they used to.\" With the subtext that as far as an appreciation of Françoise Sagan goes, well, that and $3.50 will buy you a local latte.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Solnit, Rebecca's brother, was at the reading. \"His primary logic is not trying to make a buck,\" he said of McKinley. \"It’s harder and harder to find spaces where you can do that in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, I have always wondered how a places like Adobe do make a buck, even when they made more of them. Some of these tomes look like they’ve been sent straight from central casting to populate a cultural institution that has turned a blind eye to mass tastes. \u003cem>New Looks at Italian Opera\u003c/em>, \u003cem>The Secret Diary of Harold Ickes\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Listening to Catnip\u003c/em>. I assume the \u003cem>Harry Potter\u003c/em> books are somewhere, but there were about a hundred people in the store Wednesday, creating too many cul de sacs to look for much that wasn't already staring you in the face.

She even recorded a video public service announcement in 1981, reportedly saying “God made gays just as surely as he made straights and all his children are entitled to love and (to) be loved in dignity. Remember, we are all family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a full obituary by Jocelyn Noveck of AP:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEW YORK (AP) — Two men had recently bought a house together in San Francisco, and the neighbors were annoyed.

(Hulton Archive/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That zinger, contained in the 1981 collection “The Best of Dear Abby,” was such classic Abby — real name, Pauline Friedman Phillips — that it moved her daughter to burst into laughter Thursday when reminded of it, even though she had just returned from the funeral of her mother. The elder Phillips had died a day earlier at age 94 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People weren’t really talking about homosexuality back then,” Jeanne Phillips, who now writes the famous syndicated column, said. “But you know, there wasn’t a subject my mother wouldn’t take on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the world said goodbye to Dear Abby on Thursday, the Web was full of her snappiest one-liners, responses to thousands of letters over the decades that she wrote in her daily column. But her admirers noted that behind the humor and wit was a huge heart, and a genuine desire to improve people’s lives.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She really wanted to help people,” said Judith Martin, the etiquette columnist known as Miss Manners. “Yes, she wrote with humor, but with great sympathy. She had an enormous amount of influence, and for the good. Her place in the culture was really extraordinary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The long-running “Dear Abby” column first appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle in 1956. Phillips was hardly experienced, but she had managed to snag an interview for the job. A skeptical editor allowed her to write a few sample columns, and Phillips was hired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wrote under the name Abigail Van Buren, plucking the name Abigail from the Bible and Van Buren from American history. Her column competed for decades with that of Ann Landers, who was none other than her twin sister, Esther Friedman Lederer (she died in 2002.) Their relationship was stormy in their early adult years, but they later regained the closeness they’d had growing up in Sioux City, Iowa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carolyn Hax, who writes her own syndicated advice column, feels that one can’t speak of one sister without the other, so influential were they both, and at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any of us who do this owe them such a debt,” she said. “The advice column was a backwater of the newspaper, and now it is so woven into our cultural fabric. These columns are loved and widely read, by people you wouldn’t expect. That couldn’t have happened without them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a time before confessional talk shows and the nothing-is-too-private culture of the Web, the sisters’ columns offered a rare window into Americans’ private lives and a forum for discussing marriage, sex and the swiftly changing mores of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two columns differed in style, though. While Ann Landers responded to questioners with homey, detailed advice, Abby’s replies were more flippant and occasionally risqué, like some collected for her 1981 book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Abby: My boyfriend is going to be 20 years old next month. I’d like to give him something nice for his birthday. What do you think he’d like? — Carol\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Carol: Nevermind what he’d like, give him a tie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Abby: I’ve been going with this girl for a year. How can I get her to say yes? — Don\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Don: What’s the question?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeanne Phillips, who took over the column in 2002 after a few years of sharing the byline, recalled in a telephone interview Thursday her mother’s response to a woman who wrote in detail of how many drinks she’d shared with her date one night. “Did I do wrong?” the woman wrote, in the daughter’s retelling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Probably,” her mom responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with all the wonderful humor, the younger Phillips says she was most impressed with two things: her mother’s compassion and her bravery. The compassion, she says, shone through especially when her mother met her readers. She remembers a young girl coming up at a speaking engagement and saying something quietly, at which point her mother embraced the girl, who wept on her shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is my favorite visual memory of my mom,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Abby’s advice changed over the years. When she started writing the column, she has said, she was reluctant to advocate divorce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always thought that marriage should be forever,” she explained. “I found out through my readers that sometimes the best thing they can do is part.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her bravery, her daughter says, was exemplified even more by her willingness to take on issues like abortion, AIDS, sexism and other hot topics. She caught some flack for writing about homosexuality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whenever I say a kind word about gays, I hear from people, and some of them are damn mad,” she said. “People throw Leviticus, Deuteronomy and other parts of the Bible to me. It doesn’t bother me. I’ve always been compassionate toward gay people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phillips didn’t always stop at answering letters; sometimes she called people directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ll call them. I say, ‘This is Abby,” she said. “How are you feeling? You sounded awfully low.’ And they say, ‘You’re calling me?’ After they start talking, you can suggest that they get professional help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her longtime editor, Alan McDermott of the Universal Uclick features syndicate, said he was struck by how she combined that compassion with an infectious sense of humor, and good spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think I ever, in all those years, saw her without a smile on her face,” said McDermott, who edited her column for some 20 years. The two would speak on the phone weekly, and he sometimes accompanied her on speaking engagements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even though Phillips was a good 30 years his senior, McDermott says, she was not above a little innocent flirting.

But she still strode confidently into the office of Sunday Editor Stanleigh Arnold, draped her mink over the nearest chair and told him she could do it better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mrs. Phillips got the job, took on the persona Abigail Van Buren, and as Dear Abby left a legacy as one of the most read and most influential columnists of the 20th century.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->Direct and often tart in response to her readers, Phillips was an early advocate for gay rights, as the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/thebigevent/2013/01/17/pauline-phillips-and-her-dear-abby-pro-gay-legacy/\">Chronicle’s Peter Hartlaub recalls\u003c/a>. She even recorded a video public service announcement in 1981, reportedly saying “God made gays just as surely as he made straights and all his children are entitled to love and (to) be loved in dignity. Remember, we are all family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a full obituary by Jocelyn Noveck of AP:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NEW YORK (AP) — Two men had recently bought a house together in San Francisco, and the neighbors were annoyed. The men were entertaining “a very suspicious mixture of people,” the neighbors wrote, asking: “How can we improve the neighborhood?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could move,” Dear Abby replied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_86225\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/abigail-van-buren.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-86225 \" title=\"Abigail Van Buren\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/01/abigail-van-buren-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">'Dear Abby' columnist Pauline Phillips (who used the penname Abigail Van Buren) seen here in 1958 got her start at the San Francisco Chronicle. (Hulton Archive/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That zinger, contained in the 1981 collection “The Best of Dear Abby,” was such classic Abby — real name, Pauline Friedman Phillips — that it moved her daughter to burst into laughter Thursday when reminded of it, even though she had just returned from the funeral of her mother. The elder Phillips had died a day earlier at age 94 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People weren’t really talking about homosexuality back then,” Jeanne Phillips, who now writes the famous syndicated column, said. “But you know, there wasn’t a subject my mother wouldn’t take on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the world said goodbye to Dear Abby on Thursday, the Web was full of her snappiest one-liners, responses to thousands of letters over the decades that she wrote in her daily column. But her admirers noted that behind the humor and wit was a huge heart, and a genuine desire to improve people’s lives.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She really wanted to help people,” said Judith Martin, the etiquette columnist known as Miss Manners. “Yes, she wrote with humor, but with great sympathy. She had an enormous amount of influence, and for the good. Her place in the culture was really extraordinary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The long-running “Dear Abby” column first appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle in 1956. Phillips was hardly experienced, but she had managed to snag an interview for the job. A skeptical editor allowed her to write a few sample columns, and Phillips was hired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wrote under the name Abigail Van Buren, plucking the name Abigail from the Bible and Van Buren from American history. Her column competed for decades with that of Ann Landers, who was none other than her twin sister, Esther Friedman Lederer (she died in 2002.) Their relationship was stormy in their early adult years, but they later regained the closeness they’d had growing up in Sioux City, Iowa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carolyn Hax, who writes her own syndicated advice column, feels that one can’t speak of one sister without the other, so influential were they both, and at the same time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any of us who do this owe them such a debt,” she said. “The advice column was a backwater of the newspaper, and now it is so woven into our cultural fabric. These columns are loved and widely read, by people you wouldn’t expect. That couldn’t have happened without them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a time before confessional talk shows and the nothing-is-too-private culture of the Web, the sisters’ columns offered a rare window into Americans’ private lives and a forum for discussing marriage, sex and the swiftly changing mores of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two columns differed in style, though. While Ann Landers responded to questioners with homey, detailed advice, Abby’s replies were more flippant and occasionally risqué, like some collected for her 1981 book.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Abby: My boyfriend is going to be 20 years old next month. I’d like to give him something nice for his birthday. What do you think he’d like? — Carol\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Carol: Nevermind what he’d like, give him a tie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Abby: I’ve been going with this girl for a year. How can I get her to say yes? — Don\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Don: What’s the question?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeanne Phillips, who took over the column in 2002 after a few years of sharing the byline, recalled in a telephone interview Thursday her mother’s response to a woman who wrote in detail of how many drinks she’d shared with her date one night. “Did I do wrong?” the woman wrote, in the daughter’s retelling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Probably,” her mom responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with all the wonderful humor, the younger Phillips says she was most impressed with two things: her mother’s compassion and her bravery. The compassion, she says, shone through especially when her mother met her readers. She remembers a young girl coming up at a speaking engagement and saying something quietly, at which point her mother embraced the girl, who wept on her shoulder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is my favorite visual memory of my mom,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dear Abby’s advice changed over the years. When she started writing the column, she has said, she was reluctant to advocate divorce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always thought that marriage should be forever,” she explained. “I found out through my readers that sometimes the best thing they can do is part.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her bravery, her daughter says, was exemplified even more by her willingness to take on issues like abortion, AIDS, sexism and other hot topics. She caught some flack for writing about homosexuality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whenever I say a kind word about gays, I hear from people, and some of them are damn mad,” she said. “People throw Leviticus, Deuteronomy and other parts of the Bible to me. It doesn’t bother me. I’ve always been compassionate toward gay people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phillips didn’t always stop at answering letters; sometimes she called people directly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ll call them. I say, ‘This is Abby,” she said. “How are you feeling? You sounded awfully low.’ And they say, ‘You’re calling me?’ After they start talking, you can suggest that they get professional help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her longtime editor, Alan McDermott of the Universal Uclick features syndicate, said he was struck by how she combined that compassion with an infectious sense of humor, and good spirits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think I ever, in all those years, saw her without a smile on her face,” said McDermott, who edited her column for some 20 years. The two would speak on the phone weekly, and he sometimes accompanied her on speaking engagements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even though Phillips was a good 30 years his senior, McDermott says, she was not above a little innocent flirting. One morning he called her hotel room, and she quipped, “I think you left you left your toothbrush here,” he remembers with a chuckle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pauline Esther Friedman, known as Popo, was born on Independence Day 1918 in Sioux City, Iowa, 17 minutes after her identical twin, Esther Pauline (Eppie). Their father was a well-off owner of a movie theater chain. Their mother took care of the home. Both were immigrants from Russia who had fled their native land in 1905 because of the persecution of Jews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two days before their 21st birthday, the sisters had a double wedding. Pauline married Morton Phillips, a businessman, Esther married Jules Lederer, a business executive and later founder of Budget Rent-a-Car.

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
