Crusaders for resiliency--and Brooks, co-author of the new book Raising Resilient Children, freely admits he's on a crusade--generally agree on the necessity of a linchpin relationship between the child and at least one parental figure. One of the pillars of the movement, the late Julius Segal, a pioneering psychologist in resiliency research, spoke of a "charismatic adult," a person with whom children "could identify and from whom they gather strength." While the obvious candidate for the role would be a mother or father, Segal noted that in a "surprising number of cases that person turns...
Last Sunday afternoon, like everyone else in Los Angeles, I went on strike. I staged the walkout on the second floor of Fred Segal, the colorful Melrose emporium where hipsters like Charlize Theron and Michael Stipe roam among the Oliver Peoples sunglasses, Kate Spade luggage and the kinds of clothes made possible by perfect physiques and first-dollar gross participation.

One could argue that these 10,000 were pathetically few compared with the 6 million lost in the Holocaust. But one of the Kinder, novelist Lore Segal, makes this poignant point: "None of the foster parents with whom I stayed, and there were five of them, could stand me for very long, but all of them had the grace to take in a Jewish child." That was a quality singularly lacking elsewhere (particularly in the U.S.). Still, this...
