6 Take My Advice G READING Read the article. Some Family Advice Eppie Lederer and Pauline Phillips were identical twins. In 1955 Eppie Lederer won a contest. The prize was to write an advice column for the Chicago Sun Times newspaper. In 1956 Pauline Phillips began writing an advice column for the San Francisco Chronicle. Both columns became very popular and were soon being published in many newspapers. At one time, each column-"Ann Landers" and "Dear Abby"-had nearly 100 million readers around the world! Eppie Lederer ("Ann Landers") and Pauline Phillips ("Abigail Van Buren") had a significant influence—on individuals and on important issues. For example, Phillips often called people who sounded very depressed in their letters. “They say, 'You're calling me?' After they start talking, I can suggest they get professional help.” In this way, she saved people's lives. In 1971, when the U.S. Congress was reluctant to pass a law devoting money to cancer research, Lederer asked her readers to write letters. Congress received more letters than it had in its entire history-and passed the law. Over the years, both columnists said that people's problems had remained basically the same. But the work was always interesting. Phillips said, “I can't wait to get to work in the morning." For one thing, there's no typical letter writer-women, men, teenagers all write about their problems. And, as Phillips said in response to a question, “There's no reason to make up anything. There's nothing weirder than what I get in the mail." Above all, they were committed to helping their readers. Is it just a coincidence that these two famous advice-givers were twin sisters? Maybe—but maybe not. Jeanne Phillips, Pauline's daughter, helped her mother write “Dear Abby." She was a teenager when she started to help her mother. Margo Howard, Lederer's daughter, now writes an advice column called "Dear Margo." "It must be in the genes," says Jeanne Phillips, only partly joking. وزارة التعليم Complete the sentences. 1. "Ann Landers" was really 2.
