...forget it now, in the wake of victory (or what we used to think was victory) in the Gulf War, but Bush?s father?s speech in the fall of 1990 was flaccid by comparison. Delivered, eerily on 9/11/90, the speech was half about the coming Gulf War and half about deficit reduction.

Throughout Europe, couples like the Skovlind-Nielsens are redefining what the term family means in the year 2001. Forget the stereotype of a bread-winning father, stay-at-home mother and 2.4 children in a one-family dwelling, garage attached. Divorce is one factor contributing to the reconfiguring of the traditional family structure. It's on the rise, and if the four-times-married German Chancellor Gerhard Schr...
