After meeting me, he WISHED he was sightless.The friends I set up felt the same, and when the last one tied the knot, I reluctantly threw in the towel. But like the meddling mom in movies, I’ll enter a whole new arena when my son, Kelly, starts dating.No doubt astrology will play a big part. When prospects provide the mandatory birth certificate, I’ll check it out carefully. And if their sign proves other than Pisces, they’ll hear, “Sorry, Charlie.” Excuse me. Charlene.To be honest, I’d like to see a law pass endorsing arranged marriages. In [...]

[2007-02-23] Russia has set aside almost $3bn (£53bn) for an emergency programme to tackle its epidemic of ill-health and a falling life expectancy.
