A rose by any other name...

QUESTION: I was told by some people that make a stady of these things that | had the wrong name for my personality and that I would be much better off to get it changed to something that would be more fitting for me.

are acquainted with the theory behind changing names, but I'd like to have you make a comment about what you think. You see, 'm wondering if the name change has anything to do with my improved life and situation, or ff I could have brought about the changes without changing my name.

STEWART: I am no expert on the theory you raise. I think it is healthy, however, for you to give thought to the matter.

The scenery was magnificent. The language uglied it.

STEW ART: A show like that hits different people in different ways. I am quite unaccomplished at swearing. It’s something I have never really learned to do. Moreover, I feel rather awkward when swearing is used in my presence, even in
