...story sounded plausible. On Aug. 3, Lawrence DeLisle, 28, took his family for an evening ride along the Detroit River. The two older children, Bryan, 8, and Melissa, 4, sat in the back of the family's 1977 Ford station wagon. Snuggled beside them in a child's safety seat was Kathryn, 21 months.

Theresa Tierney, sweating from her early-morning walk on the beach, carefully treads past the mating crabs.

Reality is deadly stuff. What men do is put in long hours in front of the tube, thanklessly exposing their eyeballs to radiation because not to know at work the next day precisely how the Red Sox lost yet another game is to risk career prolapsus. Working women may still spend three hours a day doing housework and their...
