Parents torn between what's good for the world and what's good for their child will-no surprise-choose the child. But even then, they wonder if that means to opt for the vaccines and face the potential perils...

And if Obama wants to maintain his reputation for honor, he'll have representatives from his campaign sit down with McCain's people to work out a sane, equitable campaign-financing mechanism for the general election - and a robust series of debates. Mark McKinnon, a McCain adviser who has said he would rather recuse himself than help his candidate against Obama, has suggested that the two candidates campaign together, staging Lincoln-Douglas-style debates across the country - a proposal similar to the offer that Kennedy reportedly wanted to make...
