...parents live in a world of family mood swings, that doesn't mean they are prepared to put their own child on mind-altering drugs. That prospect can lead to major soul searching: Will they be thought less of as parents? And if they do agree to antidepressants, will the child still be the one they know...
...amazing thing about this scene is that fans can get so close. It's the equivalent of walking on the field at Yankee Stadium during batting practice and asking Derek Jeter if he wouldn't mind posing for a photo with your three kids. DuPont might invite a few hundred car dealers, body-shop owners and other clients to a race, and they'll all get special access. Yet Gordon will climb out of his car after a practice run, and a growing swarm will be waiting to walk him to his trailer. Some of them will...

Subjects A and B show up together, which may be significant but is more likely to be an innocent coincidence. In this study, for example, the investigators didn't take into account whether the parents were nearsighted. That could explain a lot right there, since at least some aspects of myopia are inherited. Or perhaps nearsighted parents, are, for whatever reason, more likely to leave the lights on at night...
