...Bedfellows Caroline and Senator Edward Kennedy were right on in endorsing Obama [Feb. 11]. Bill Clinton's sustained, unfair and mean-spirited attacks on Obama have got to backfire. The very thought of Bill re-entering the White House is scary. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to forget what he put our country through 10 years ago.

...look or your body size." (Teachers reported they heard sexist comments more often than homophobic ones, and they also saw more harassment based on appearance and weight than on sexual orientation.) It's difficult to imagine the teenager who has never been painfully teased about something. We forget sometimes that to be a teenager - any teenager - is to learn to cope with the turbid, inchoate bigotries of still-developing minds...
