...Sarah, being the candidate's daughter is both a blessing and a curse. When people criticize her Dad she sometimes wants "to walk right over and punch them, but obviously I can't do that." Which has made the last two weeks a trying exercise in self-restraint. As the most visible and constant face of the campaign in Iowa, which is getting growing scrutiny as its poll numbers soar, Sarah is often the one who must field the tough questions. "And we welcome that," Sarah says. "We're happy to have supporters and even our non-supporters come...

...children avoided contracting the infection. Making this kind of success a reality required a degree of flexibility, Farmer said. At first, he said, competition with other aid agencies interfered with the process of actually helping the children. He said Partners in Health also had to walk a tightrope with the Rwandan government, which banned them from working on the ground unless the organization called their efforts a study.
