Fortunately, the aging of the baby boomers is also creating a boom of services (many of them free) for people thrust into the caregiver's role. Geriatric-case managers can offer all kinds of practical assistance to a family in need, from coordinating home health care to providing financial and emotional counseling. The local Office of the Aging, or Eldercare Locator (800-677-1116), can assign local case managers for families who live at a distance.

Campbell believes preserving affirmative action is vital to the continued prosperity of the black middle class. Tucker thinks blacks need to prepare for the day when such programs are outlawed by conservative courts or ballot initiatives such as California's Prop. 209. This is a serious difference of opinion that deserves a dignified debate by serious people, not a wallow in the mud.
