"DEAR ABBY" IS DEAD.... AT 94

The popular advice columnist "Dear Abby" has died. She was 94.

Pauline Phillips started her advice column in 1954 but handed the reigns over to her daughter about 10 years ago. She had since been suffering from Alzheimer's.

Pauline chose her pen name Abigail Van Buren - after Abigail from the Bible, and President Martin Van Buren.
