DEAR MISS MANNERS: My wife and I were invited to a dinner party by a childhood friend of mine, whom we have seen occasionally over the past 50 years.At dinner, the host pulled me aside and asked about my political views, to which I responded, “I believe my views will differ from your own. We don’t see each other often, so let’s just enjoy the evening.”He kept pushing, and I gave him my full opinion. He then asked what my wife’s views were. I responded by saying, “Pretty much like my own.” The host just exploded, freaking out, etc.Before returning to the group, I again requested we just put our views aside and enjoy the evening. The host then entered the kitchen, where my wife was assisting his wife, and asked her if she supports the same political party as me. My wife responded, “Yes!”My wife and I stayed through dinner. Three days later, we sent a respectful thank-you card. How should we have reacted to this attack, both in the ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:36:59 GMT

PHILADELPHIA — Jayson Tatum stuck to his routine.The Celtics star wasn’t on the court moments before Friday night’s Game 3 here at Wells Fargo Arena. Not even Joel Embiid’s MVP ceremony made him stray from his usual regimen, when he goes to the back of the arena after the final pregame buzzer sounds and before the national anthem is played.“Nothing different today,” Tatum said. “I could hear it. They had it on the TV and I saw it.”The Celtics knew and expected what was coming Friday night in Philadelphia. The 76ers hadn’t played a home game in almost two weeks, and they were coming back with home-court advantage in a playoff series against a rival. That would typically be enough for their passionate fanbase to be juiced. Add Embiid’s MVP ceremony to the equation, and there was enough energy to blow the roof off.The cheers were piercing and deafening. The ceremony was emotional.It didn’t affect the Celtics.“They’ve been here before,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said.“We were locked in...
