Dear Annie: I’ve been friends with “Mark” since high school, which was over 15 years ago. He actually feels more like a brother than a friend. But over the past year, there’s been a shift in him. He’s gotten deep, deep into conspiracy theories. Every conversation somehow turns into a rant about the government’s hidden agenda or the evils of the pharmaceutical industry.

LOS ANGELES – If gas prices have you second-guessing a road trip this summer, this season’s crop of television series can transport you to distant lands, real and imagined, for a much lower price.
