Ask AmyAmy Dickinson: ASK AMY DEAR AMY: My 19-year-old son is a U.S. Marine in Iraq. At times I share stories from him with friends or close co-workers. I hate it when someone says, "Well, remember he chose to join, no one forced him. He's there because he wants to be." My son enlisted because he wanted to support his country. Did he know the risks? It feels like a slap in the face. Please help me with a quick and not too smirky comeback to these know-it-alls. Sleep well, America, because my son has your back. He is a Marine. 
Lou Dolinar: Troubleshooting Nvu - for youMy column a month ago about Nvu, the open-source Web page editor, generated some questions: 
DROPSGlenn Gamboa: Indie vs. major: A power shift Robert F.X. Sillerman, best known as the man who built the concert monolith SFX Entertainment, knows how to get a room all shook up. 
On the IsleAileen Jacobson: Designing man: cars, colas, cafes, oh my A 1954 baby blue Studebaker Champion, still looking as sleek as the day Raymond Loewy designed it, sits at the center of a new exhibit at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook. 
Carrie Mason-Draffen: 'At-will' worker has rights, tooDEAR CARRIE: I was a senior business executive with a Fortune 30 company. I ranked among the top 100 salespeople out of 55,000, despite being there for just 20 months. Because things were going so well for me, I turned down four job offers in 2004. Then, early this year a new vice president joined the department. He wanted me to move to the company's office in the Midwest. I agreed and had begun planning to relocate with my family. But a month later, when my family and I were in the throes of planning for our big move, he called me in and fired me. His about-face has caused my family and me tremendous emotional turmoil. I'm also angry that after bringing millions of dollars to this company, I was just tossed aside like an old shoe. Four weeks' severance doesn't even soften the blow because he revoked all my stock grants. What are my rights? 
Les Payne: Preventive war grasps at strawsThe preventive war strategy of President George W. Bush was entrenched last week with his doctrine of shoot first - don't worry about aiming - and ask questions later. Apropos of this president, the updated security plan is, alas, a cowboy doctrine drafted not by a fair-minded sheriff but by an hombre outside the law.

Irene Virag: Buds foretell spring's splendorIt was night when I flew in from Arizona. I needed a jacket on the ride home and in the morning, islets of melting snow patched the ground outside the sliding glass door of my bedroom. But the southwestern sun still blazed in my immediate memory, and I stood by the door searching for wisps of color and portents of warmth. Soon, I spotted the dainty, white nodding flowers of the snowdrops that usher us into the newborn season. And despite the gray skies around me, I found myself in a spring state of mind.
