Kelli Roman, a 23-year-old mother of two from Fallbrook, CA, doesn't think she should have to hide the fact that she breast-feeds her daughter - not from her friends, her family or even the people she interacts with on Facebook. Facebook disagrees. The social-networking site takes down some breast-feeding photos if they show an exposed nipple or areola, which it considers obscene material. Roman and several other women have banded together to protest this policy, forming a Facebook group that has grown to tens of thousands of members. TIME talked to Roman about the virtues...
...Gist: The biggest juggernaut in children's-television history sprang forth from mundane origins. At a Manhattan dinner party in 1966, a Carnegie Foundation executive named Lloyd Morrissett mentioned that his young daughter was so enthralled by television that she would park herself in front of the family's set to gaze at early-morning test patterns. That story prompted a public-television producer named Joan Cooney to investigate how television could be used to package education as entertainment: "What if it went down more like ice cream than spinach?"

...backing of his daughter's career has sparked some criticism, especially during her 2002 bid for the AG's office. Of all the races that year, hers was the single candidacy endorsed by the state Democratic Party and the only one it helped to fund. The now 42-year-old former state senator and lawyer, a graduate of Georgetown and (like her dad) Loyola Law School, took some degree of heat for her inexperience when she won the post; it didn't help matters that she had to return $25,000 in campaign donations from what turned...
...Madigan, 66, quite simply, is Illinois politics. Legislation halts, or dies, without his blessing, much the same way as politics goes nowhere in Chicago without Mayor Richard M. Daley giving the nod. His power is amplified by his being the head of an emerging Illinois political dynasty - his adopted daughter Lisa is the hard-charging state attorney general who tried unsuccessfully to get the state supreme court to declare Blagojevich temporarily unfit to serve, and who herself is often touted as a future gubernatorial or even U.S. Senate candidate. "There's just no question who's in charge here," says...
