Wallerstein didn't always feel this way. Once upon a time, she too believed that a good divorce trumped a bad marriage where children were concerned. "The central paradigm now that is subscribed to throughout the country," says Wallerstein, "is if at the time of the breakup people will be civil with each other, if they can settle financial things fairly, and if the child is able to maintain contact with both parents, then the child is home free."

Meanwhile, these latest tools for thinking about thinking fit into an even broader tradition of introspection. Where today...
...fall--and then giving it away. A native of (where else?) Palo Alto, Calif., Newman just happens to be a budding venture capitalist, one of the early-stage investors who fund high-tech ventures before they go public, in exchange for a potentially lucrative stake. His fledgling fund, Paradigm Blue, plans to give about $500,000 to promising dorm-room start-ups that can't possibly get a meeting with the cozy club of old-line...
