From the beginning of the recent Mumbai massacre, Indians in India and abroad never doubted Pakistan's hand in the ghastly attacks [Dec. 15]. President Nixon's famous "tilt" toward Pakistan, decades of U.S. support for Pakistan's military dictators and America's turning a blind eye to Pakistan's involvement in a series of terrorist activities against India have borne their fruit in the past decade.

Try this experiment: next month ask your son to be on his best behavior in front of other people, from now until November...
...Young girls, on the other hand, can be an asset to a candidate's image. "There's definitely something in the father daughter-relationship that makes being in the public eye much easier," says Meeks. "Girls want to please their mothers and particularly their fathers. Their dads can take their daughters places and do things with them and the girls...
