...Gupta?s article on remedies for snoring [Sept. 1]: My wife was on the verge of moving out of our bedroom when a lady in a hotel in the backblocks of Tasmania told us about a homeopathic preparation called Snorestop, which decongests and reduces tissue swelling in the sinuses.

A widower and father of eight, Boughton's powers are fading, though he is still full of a shaky heartiness that causes him to end most of his sentences with an exclamation point. His daughter Glory, unmarried in her late 30s, has come home to take care of him, partly because she doesn't have much else...
