Dear Eric: I have a widowed friend I’ll call Vivian. Since her husband died a few years ago, my husband and I have invited her to have dinner with us on several occasions.

By MICHELLE L. PRICE and COLLEEN LONG, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general, was chosen Thursday by Donald Trump to serve as U. S. attorney general hours after his first choice, Matt Gaetz, withdrew from consideration after a federal sex trafficking investigation and ethics probe made his ability to be confirmed dubious. The 59-year-old has long been in Trump’s orbit and her name had been floated during his first term as a potential candidate for the nation’s highest law enforcement role.

It began with a phone call on Halloween to report the sound of gunshots. When police arrived at a Margate home, a woman told them her brother often shot his guns at the house, according to court records, and that she sometimes feared him. That day, officers would enter his room and happen upon a disturbing collection of over 40 items: drawings of local schools and parks labeled with the N-word; a list of synagogues, Jewish businesses and the name of Congressman Jared Moskowitz; and a stockpile of six guns, several rounds of ammunition, smoke grenades and a Ghillie suit. John Lapinski Jr., 41, had amassed the arsenal despite multiple laws that ought to have prevented a man with both a felony record and a domestic violence injunction from purchasing guns, according to prosecutors. The circumstances of his arrest highlight the increasing precariousness of preventing acts of mass violence or domestic terrorism, which often seem to rely on chance encounters or tips from acquaintances and loved ones.

Q: What happens when Terry Rozier returns? – Phil. A: This is such an open-ended question that I could go in a variety of directions.
