Necessity mothered the merger of AOL and Time Warner. TIME.com's new $350 billion parent company - AOL Time Warner - was unveiled Monday after the giants of the Internet and of traditional media negotiated the biggest merger in history. Each side had something the other badly needed: Time Warner recognizes that the future of an infotainment company is digital, but its attempts to stake its own claim on Internet real estate - a competitive CNN news site, an innovative Warner Brothers product and the failed Time Warner "Pathfinder" network - were unable to create the dominant presence the corporation enjoys in other media...

A periodic search of your child's room may reveal secret activities and intentions. What you seek and find now may head off disaster later. ILENE SCHWABER Allenwood...
...WORKING-PARENT TRAP What's good for the economy may not be so good for young children. Full employment for moms and dads has created a severe child-care shortage, a California Child Care Resource & Referral Network study reveals. There are only enough licensed facilities in the state for 1 in 5 children. And the strong economy is luring child-care workers to take more lucrative jobs in other fields. The result: what quality care is available is very expensive--costing 30% of the median family income, for example, to place two children in a center...
