Bob Edwards

I am so bummed. My commute won't be the same once Santa Monica-based "adult alternative" radio station KACD-FM (103.1) goes off the air later this summer. Where else can you find Phish and Aimee Mann on the same playlist with the Rolling Stones and Bob Marley? The good news is that instead of closing up shop, the station will experiment with moving its DJs, commercials and playlists online to http://www.worldclassrock.com.

Bob Edwards is one father who is home when his kids troop in from school each afternoon. He is also one of the few men whose 4-year-old daughter tucks him in for the night. Well, at least for part of the night. For 10 years now, Edwards has retired for the evening at 7 so he can climb out of bed at 1:30 a.m. each weekday to host "Morning Edition," National Public Radio's two-hour morning news program, which celebrates its 10th birthday Friday.

Mike Edwards of Valencia High School has made an oral commitment to attend the University of Utah. Edwards' decision was based on assurances from Utah's football coaches that he could participate in football and baseball, said Bob Edwards, his father. "Mike had been looking at Arizona State, USC and Colorado, also," Bob Edwards said. "But the others shied away from the baseball, and Utah thought it was great."

Edy Williams' "still" would not be free, but rather drastically overpriced, if it costs me 22 cents to write for it. BOB EDWARDS Los Angeles
