Show Tuesday, October 27, I Husband says Internet more interesting than wife Dear Ann Landers: May I computer-literat- add my 2 cents to those ATJCE Internet marriage-kille- r sto-- ; ries? It could explain what is ' behind them. One month ago, I bought my first computer. I have many outside interests and subscribe to more than 30 publications. I also average five hours a day on line. Why? Because I love learning new things and want to stay informed on the latest. My wife, on the other hand, has three interests her relatives, her job and her church. Frankly, none of HER interests is of interest to ME. I couldn't care less how many hours "Sis" her neighspends bor's kids, or how many of her clock in late after break, or how the Sunday sermon went. Tapping into my computer allows me access to classic literature, movie memorabilia, travel information, an entire city library, dozens of daily newspapers and hundreds of baby-sittin- g C0LU.V.N about the newfangled gadget called TV 50 years ago? Married to the Monitor in St. Louis Dear St. Louis: Your letter is sure to spark many Ann Landers magazine articles. I can look up job openings anywhere in the country or read interviews with major newsmakers. I can chat with people from all walks of life who teach me more in one sitting than I could learn in a year. I get world, national and local news, weather and sports, and humor of every kind imaginable. Perhaps the reason these marriages are breaking up (as mine will soon) is because the Woody Allen blasts Mia Farrow - NEW YORK (AP) Woody Allen lashed out at Mia Farrow in a magazine interview, saying she keeps her many children holed up in "a cultish compound" in Connecticut. "I would challenge Mia's view of herself as a supermoth-er,he told Marie Claire in the magazine's latest issue. "She compulsively goes through these manic adoptions even though she doesn't know where .her next job is coming from." X ' Allen and Farrow had a child in addition to 10 other children she has adopted over ' the years. They broke up in 1992, when Farrow discovered Allen was having an affair with one of her adopted daughters, Soon-Y- i Previn. The two have 6ince married. "Woody is absolutely nuts," Farrow's former press agent, John Springer, told the New York Post on Monday. "He is a miserable (person), and he's just trying to get even." Allen said Farrow isolates the " children in "a cultish compound in Connecticut where going out has always been discouraged ... There are many horrible things I could say if I wanted to go into detail, but I don't." Spirited singer NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- distraught Loretta Lynn pleaded with Conway Twitty's spirit to return to his body soon after he died in 1993. husband Lynn's was sick in the same Missouri hospital when Twitty suffered an aneurysm and was brought to intensive care, where he died. "I'd always heard that the spirit stays right there above the body for a while, so when I went back to intensive care, I stood beside Conway's body and tried to talk him back down," Lynn said. "I said, 'Conway, don't you die on me. You know you don't want to go." A now-dea- d Lynn, who is Twitty's former person has e finally found something infinitely more interesting than the person he is married to. Didn't they say the same thing PEOPLE IN THE NEWS duet partner, told the story in 'The View From Nashville," a new book by longtime Nashville broadcaster Ralph Emery. "I cut such a shine they had to take me out of the room," she said. McCartney on crusade LONDON (AP) Women, don't be shy about checking for breast cancer, Paul McCartney said Monday. "Unfortunately in Linda's case, we really got to it too late," he told ITN television. His wife died in April from breast cancer. "Although we had 2 12 years of treatment it really turned out to be nothing much we could have done about it," McCartney said. "So if there's any chance that you might have it, get checks, that's the main thing." The interview coincided with the release of Wide Prairie, an album of solo songs recorded by Linda McCartney over 25 years. Onassis lawsuit alive ATHENS, Greece (AP) The bitter battle over the $600 million Onassis fortune raged Monday with a slander lawsuit filed by the father of heiress Athina Roussel. Thierry Roussel sued Stelios Papadimitriou, one of the four Greek trustees of the Onassis Foundation, which operates the Onassis shipping enterprises and a large charitable trust. Roussel accuses Papadimitriou of calling him an embezzler. On Friday, Roussel has to present himself in court after the four trustees sued him for slander, alleging he accused them of mismanagement and nepotism. The foundation administers the money until Athina reaches her 18th birthday. conversations around the dinner table tonight. The Internet is not a "killer of marriages" any more than TV was when it first entered our living rooms. The killer is boredom, which too many couples know too much about. Meanwhile, before you throw the baby out with the bath water, I hope you will try joint counseling. It has worked for many and might work for you. Dear Ann Landers: As I was driving to work today, I saw something that made me absolutely crazy. Why are parents too lazy or too thoughtless to make sure their young children are buckled up as soon as they get in the car? As the mother of a the thought that my laziness might possibly cause my son to be disfigured, paralyzed or even killed makes my blood run cold. If anything happened to him in a car accident because of my negligence, I could never forgive myself. I say this to all parents: If you don't want to live to see your child grow up and choose not to wear a seat belt yourself, that is your decision. But to jeopardize the life of your child, whom you profess to love, is quite another matter. From all the reports I have read, the safest spot for a child is the center of the back seat. If you think a child car seat for your infant or toddler is too expensive, many places offer discounted models. And be sure to follow the manufactur Write to Ann Landers, P.O.

Get involved and assure our young people a safer, brighter spending time with their grandchildren, helping them connect with positive activities. They and other readers may be encouraged to know that research shows when caring adults become involved with young people in such ways, these youth are far less likely to use illegal drugs or alcohol, skip school or hit someone. They show more confidence in their school performance and are more likely to get along with their families. Unfortunately, more and more young people share the problems of "Stressed Out," the teen-age- r who appealed to you last June because he felt excluded from peer social activities because of his commitment to avoid alcohol. Important studies indicate that the increasing hours today's children and teers spend without adult supervision and structured activity are one of the major risk factors for early substance abuse, sexual experimentation and involvement in crime and violence. The Department of Health and Human Services is issuing a national call to action to raise awareness about the nection between youth involved in positive, skill-buildin- con- g activities and reduced substance abuse. We want to increase the number of adults participating in fun, positive, challenging, structured activities with youth. "Your Time Their Future" is a positive activities campaign that encourages individuals, membership-based organizations and corporate America to make modest investments of time and resources.
