Millennium appears to be
coming one year too soon
DEAR ABBY: Something very troubling
is going on. Everywhere I turn, people are
saying that the new millennium starts one
second after midnight Dec. 31, 1999. That
just isn’t true. The correct date is Jan. 1,
2001 NOT 2000!
Allow me to explain: There are 100 years
in a century. The first century encompassed
the years 1 through 100. The second centu
ry ran from 101 through 200, the third cen
tury from 201 through 300, etc. Get it?
Abby, please urge the media to put this
information before the public. Someone
once said it takes one small spark to start a
prairie fire. Perhaps this one “spark” of
information will ignite the candle of wis
dom and shine some light on an impor
tant fact your readers need to know.
“FATHER TIME” IN THE U.S.A.
DEAR FATHER TIME: I’m embarrassed
to confess that I’m one of the guilty parties
who referred to 1999 as the “final year of
the century,” so thank you for providing me
an opportunity to set my readers straight.
You are one voice in a chorus of individuals
who want the public to be made aware that
the year 2000 is the final year of the centu
ry, and the new millennium begins on Jan.
1,2001.
I hate to be the one to say this, but you’re
swimming against a tidal wave. Although
you are technically correct, when people
see the first digit in the year change from a
“1” to a “2,” they can’t help but think a new
century has arrived.
DEAR ABBY: I know you receive thou
sands of letters, while selecting few for
publication.
I am distressed that you saw fit to publish
a letter that has anti-Semitic overtones. It
pertained to the inquiry made by “Confused
in Canada’s Capital,” regarding a person
Joyce Jillson
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(March 26): It’s a terrific year
for opportunity and growth.
Problems that began last year are
solved next month. Keep close
tabs on how a partner or relative
spends your money this summer.
Bosses need you more than you
realize in June, so inquire about
raises, bonuses and improved
hours. Be spontaneous with love
in July, when a off-hand remark
could spark wonderful romance
leading to marriage.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Good vibes are with you; part
ners add to your to-do list with
favors they ask. Increased family
closeness will heal problems in
seemingly unrelated areas of life.
An extracurricular venture brings
romance or awakens creativity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Radical changes in love may
seem scary at first but will be the
best thing that’s ever happened.
Those who had no interest in
starting a family may change
their mind. Patience allows you
to lead the pack at work.

who used a
death in the
family for
self-serving
purposes to create an educational fund for
his daughter, when he was “easily able to
pay for his daughter’s education.” The
writer then queried, “Is this a Jewish cus
tom?”
Your response, “No, it’s not a Jewish cus
tom” could have easily been enclosed in an
envelope and sent to the inquirer. To have
exposed your millions of readers to a false
stereotypic characterization of the Jew was
an unfortunate error on your part. It was not
simply an innocent request for informa
tion, and in my estimation you unwitting
ly became a “partner in crime” by pub
lishing this nonsense.
The Jewish community is owed an apol
ogy-
DR. STANLEY M. WAGNER,
RABBI, DENVER
DEAR RABBI WAGNER: I am Jewish
and I disagree. I give the overwhelming
majority of my readers credit for not adher
ing to false stereotypes. The son-in-law’s
behavior wasn’t typical of all Jewish peo
ple. To quote an old Yiddish proverb:
“Every village has its village idiot” even
ours. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: Regarding the letter from
“Confused in Canada” about the son-in-law
who placed a solicitation for money for his
daughter’s education in his father-in-law’s
obituary: No, it’s not a Jewish custom. It’s a
shanda (disgrace)!
LOYAL READER IN PALM SPRINGS
DEAR LOYAL READER: Right. As I
said in my original answer that letter
was a first!
Under the star’s gaze
It is easy for you to keep cool, but
more difficult to calm others
down. Production will skyrocket
when you take the reigns.
Cultivate a winning attitude.
Sacrifices made long ago bring
rewards now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22):
Try not to pass blame when a
loved one is doing his or her best.
Those involved in sales or public
relations get noticed and perhaps
promoted. You can renew interest
in an old project. Love is bliss
with a Leo or Gemini.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Getting together for practical
tasks works better; teams work
ing overtime are very productive,
and volunteers for worthy causes
find unusual success. Enjoy the
fun of having your true friends
nearby.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22):
The family bond is tighter. Don’t
worry about everything being
perfect. New ways of seeing and
being are in the works. You are
more attractive than you know,
with many of your most remark
able talents still unexplored.
LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct. 23):
You have so many friends that
time-management is necessary.
Be the strong parent when a child
looks for guidance; have courage
to say no. What you save comes
in handy soon. Consider studying
a language or music.
Abigdil
Van Buren JJOh
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
You could unknowingly start a
trend see yourself as an entre
preneur, and riches come into
your life. Don’t understate your
talents. Someone close is more
careful with your feelings if he or
she knows how you feel.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): A meeting seals a deal.
Realize who is influenced by you
children take you literally. You
thrive on the frenetic pace
even if you over-schedule, you
are able to keep your cool.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Love triangles are useless
get into a healthy situation.
Singles could fall for an available
person around the workplace.
You are supported for ideas you
thought would be unpopular. The
truth may surprise you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Financial decisions become
slightly complex. When in doubt,
consult an Aries or Libra. You are
the final word on what happens in
your life, so there’s no reason to
credit or blame anyone else.
Don’t try; just be yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Love affairs become committed
when you reveal the emotions
you’ve kept back. To attract the
big bucks, work on your memory
you are impressive to contacts
when you get all the facts and
faces straight.
