"As a pediatrician, I believe breast milk is the perfect food for infants and I applaud more and more mothers for considering it," say Dr. Catherine Gordon, a vitamin D researcher and author of the Childrens Hospital study. "Of concern, however, is the accompanying rise in cases of rickets" - a bone-softening disease usually attributable to malnutrition that can lead to fractures and bowed legs.

The disenchantment with protest politics, the fatigue from refighting old battles over school integration and affirmative action, even the rise of politicians like Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick point to a shift in the disposition of black America.
