...This morning I was really surprised when my nine-year-old son Mohammed began a determined entry into Palestinian-Israeli politics: he asked me why the father of Mohammed al-Durra, the 12-year-old boy killed in Gaza, could not protect his son from the Israeli bullets. Why did [the Israelis] kill him? These days, everybody asks me questions. My daughter Dalal, 18, asked me about her friend Asil, from [the peace group involving Israeli and Palestinian children] Seeds of Peace, who was also killed by the Israelis. Others ask me when the Israelis will lift the closure...
...Nine-year-old Phylicia Dryer wants to be a pop star. Growing up in a music industry that has no qualms about the ethics of exploiting the very young, Phylicia's dreams of becoming the next Britney Spears may only be a hop, skip and breast implant away.

Cradling the Roger Staubach-autographed football I had received for Christmas (which he had graciously signed despite the fact that my well-meaning mother had sent him a Joe Namath ball), I decided I was through with the game then and there. I think I suspected that...
...Spring Street resident reported to CPD that his nine-year-old son was playing at Hurley Street Park and apparently splashed one or two boys that were also playing in the sprinkler area. One of the boys splashed the son back before leaving to pick up a baseball bat. After returning, he walked back to the son and threatened to commit an act of violence. The father intervened, explaining his son's problem, and the suspect stated, " I don't care; I'm going to bash his face...
