Noticed the Chicago Sun-Times has dropped "Ask Ellie" and replaced it with the "Dear Abby" advice column. That column, by the way, is no longer written by Abagail Van Buren (and hasn't been for many years) - her daughter, Jeanne Phillips, going by the name "Abby", now is the responder. "Dear Abby" still also appears in the Chicago Tribune, but it's a fair guess that the Trib won't be carrying it much longer.
