Given that more families have both parents of young children working than ever before, dependency on the child care system has become nearly ubiquitous. There are very few parents who do not, for some portion of the day, entrust their children to the care of strangers.

After some years of litigation, he and the board managed to clear the way to sell, in 1984, its Getty Oil stock to Texaco for $10 billion. In the end, this gave Williams $2.3 billion to play with in creating the Getty Center. With shrewd management, this endowment has since grown to $4.3 billion--four times that of New York's Metropolitan...
