People who lose their jobs often suffer a loss of self-esteem and experience unfocused rage, and there is also the simple fact that an out-of-work father has to deal with his children more because he is at home. "Suddenly a man who used to see his child an hour or two a day is exposed to him for hours at a time," says Dr. Henry C. Kempe, director of the National Center. The fact that so many mothers now live with a man other than the child's father causes extra strain as well, says Kempe...

...knowledge of Democratic national politics over the past 22 years will be entirely complete without this account by the man who operated so long at its stormy center. Larry O'Brien is one of the most decent men in a profession currently held in low esteem; he is also a tough Irishman who has shed more tears in joy and sorrow than ought to be allotted any single lifetime in politics...
