JM3 Juror remains tight-lipped despite husband's appeals DEAR ABBY: This is my second week of jury duty. I've committed for eight weeks of jury duty, and I am afraid by the time it is over, my marriage will also be over. My husband, a very opinionated and persuasive man, insists that I tell him the details of the trial I am now on, knowing full well that I have sworn not to talk about it until it's over. I have refused to discuss the case with him, but he is very angry, which has created a lot of friction between us. Today is our 19th wedding anniversary, and he's using that as a reason why I should tell him. "After all," he said, "we've kept no secrets from each other all these years, and if you really love me you would trust me enough to tell me everything. I told him I love him enough not to ask him to do something he thought was wrong. I looked forward to being an honest juror and nobody is going to spoil it for me-not even my husband. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest Abby. I'm signing my name but for obvious reasons, sign this... . OFF MY CHEST DEAR OFF: You are right on! In time your husband's anger will blow over. Meanwhile, in his heart he knows you're right, and he can only love and respect you more for your integrity. DEAR ABBY: The letter signed "Tired of 'OK' in Arizona" brought to my mind the following: Few people know the origin of the expression "OK." Our eighth president, Martin Van Buren, was bom and raised in Kinderhook N. Y. In later years he was nicknamed "Old Kinderhook." During his presidency, when a bill was brought before him he would either veto it or approve it by initialing it "OK" for his nickname. Hence an OK indicated approval. And that's how OK became a part of the language. DON FINN, ORANGE, CALIF. DEAR DON: Thanks for an interesting bit of trivia. And for those who wonder if I am anv kin to Old Kinderhook, I am not. I took the Abigail from the Old Testament (Book of Samuel) and the Van Buren from our eighth president because I liked the aristocratic ring. DEAR ABBY: What do you think of this invitation from a 3- month-old son who was born out of wedlock: "John Jay Smith requests the pleasure of your company at an open house to celebrate the marriage of his parents, Richard James Smith and Jane Susan Doe, Saturday, June 15th, from 2:30 until 5:30 p.m. at their home" etc, etc. SEEN EVERYTHING IN ST. PAUL, MINN DEAR SEEN: I thing it's unique, courageous, and original. DEAR ABBY: "Grieving in Gulfport, Miss." could have been signed "Grieving in Wichita Kan." and written by me. Only it was my older sister who died from cigarettes. I tried to get her to quit, but her only answer was the same as many others: "I'm not hurting anybody but myself." But the night she died, her family had to listen to her ciy out, "Help me, help me." And that's the night she hurt a lot of other people. GRIEVING IN WICHITA (Is your social life in a slump? Lonely?
