Houston: Are we correct in
holding that Junior" is cor
rectly used only while the
senior" lives-Liz and Ginger.
A. Most books on etiquette
state that after death of the
senior" the surviving son of
the same name should drop the
Junior. But, since junior is
neither a title nor a name. but
simply is a Latin word meaning
younger" the son often retains
the Junior" after his fathers
death, especially If his father
was widely known.
Los Angeles: Please give us
the correct pronunciation of our
city. Los Angeles.-L. B.
A. So far as I know, a "cor-
rect" pronunciation has not yet
