...than any of the major tracking polls, by a few points. By Monday, when the poll actually showed Gore leading Bush by two points, MSNBC's anchors introduced its results sheepishly, noting that every other poll disagreed with them and embarrassingly following it up with another poll from its parent, NBC, that showed Bush with a three-point lead. The poll's actual Gore lead may not be vindicated, but it's at least looking a lot less stupid...

...kids may need to be kept away for their own good. Still, the question is whether society can legitimately punish women for their crimes without ruining their children's lives. The fate of these children has great consequences for society. Half of the 1.5 million kids with an incarcerated parent will commit a crime before they turn 18.

...pictures of the 12-year-old Plestinian boy huddled against his father for protection from Israeli bullets touch the deepest fear in a parent's heart--that of being helpless and unable to protect one's child [WORLD, Oct. 16]. I pray that a benevolent God reserves a special place for the boy. I have always supported Israel and its right to exist. But this time Israel, with its brutal assault on the Palestinian people, has lost the moral high ground. A Palestinian life is no less precious than any other.
