Still, single mothers are not immune to their own doubts--not least, wondering whether their child will suffer from the lack of a two-parent upbringing. Some research has indicated that children of single mothers are more prone to academic and emotional problems, especially during their teen years. However, those studies tended to focus on poor families headed by teen mothers and kids of divorced parents. A Cornell University study of six- and seven-year-olds found that the mere fact of single parenthood does not mean that a child will have trouble academically.

...over news like that produced a very dispirited July for NASDAQ. Or the next object of suspense could be the Time Warner-AOL merger decision, due in the fall from the FCC, which could set the regulatory climate for at least the next year (Time Warner, of course, is parent of this site).

Interesting, because that military statement was a Cold War holdover, the kind of line Democrats long felt obligated to crow for fear of being labeled commies. The army, after...
...worst in the world," says Representative JOHN PORTER, an Illinois Republican, and has used U.S. weapons to attack Kurds in the southeast. To help the deal along, the Turkish embassy in Washington has hired top Capitol Hill lobbyists, at a hefty $1.8 million and Textron Inc., Bell's parent company, has put $117,800 into G.O.P. and Democratic coffers for this year's races...
