He cites The Rebirth of America, a 1986 book published by the foundation and edited by DeMoss daughter Nancy Leigh DeMoss that lists the gay-rights movement, abortion and "our humanistic, secular public school system" as proof that "Americans have lost their way in part because they do not know their own Christian heritage."

Cary: It was just that "I'm Steven Stayner," and his head was all bloated out... just little things, but they kind of irked me...

And when the subject of that book is young children's nutritional needs--which are very different from those of adults--you can bet I'm going to recommend it to every parent I know. I'm talking about Feeding Your Child for Lifelong Health (Bantam; $15.95) by Susan Roberts, a nutrition researcher at Tufts University in Boston, and Dr. Melvin Heyman, a pediatric gastroenterologist at the University of California in San Francisco.
