...face several daily battles to keep junk food out of my 3-year-old daughter's mouth, and she's not the only one I'm battling. The prevailing attitude seems to be that children cannot go longer than half an hour without eating. Everywhere my daughter goes, from preschool to library story time to gymnastics class, she is bombarded with sweets, prepackaged snacks and "juice" boxes containing nothing but empty and unhealthy calories. When society makes it so difficult to limit unhealthy foods, it's no wonder that we are facing an obesity epidemic among children. Kimberly Muschong, Mason...
...London show's most moving exhibits are those that hide their creators' desperation. The pretty jewelry boxes built for wives, and Adel Abdel Bary's cards for his daughter, Rahma, decked with bright hearts, flowers, and "I Love You's" aren't art. But seen as a whole, the show Captivated is as eloquent about the grey, ghostly nature of 21st century warfare as any true artist could hope to be.

...Anheuser-Busch is the legacy of an enterprising German immigrant named Adolphus Busch, who married the daughter of a middling brewer, Eberhard Anheuser, in 1861.

Peele, the addiction expert, raised his own daughter (who is 20 and will be a junior at New York University) to drink a "few sips" of alcohol at family meals until she was about 16, when she could have a full glass of whatever the adults were drinking. "You give them sips as smaller kids, and you don't make a big deal about it," says Peele, 62. "Around 16, give them a glass of wine. A second glass probably doesn't make sense...
...holdouts--have switched their allegiance to Barack Obama, and the candidate is using his vast war chest to bulk up his already huge staff. Meanwhile, John McCain still lags in support from the donors and religious conservative leaders who helped George W. Bush. But he did get his daughter Meghan to register as a Republican. Taking frequent days off from the stump hasn't helped McCain, but there's a bigger problem: the media continue to find Obama a more compelling story, with daily features, blanket coverage and long profiles. McCain was once a media darling too, but his strategists...
