...some alcohol and drug abuse occurs, the biggest problem is domestic child abuse and sexual abuse. Willimson estimates he deals with five or six such cases a year. In a recent case, a father sexually abused his two junior-high-age sons, who then sexually abused a younger sister. The boys were removed from the home by the state's Child Protective Services...
...politics of virtue is that conservatives aren't vastly better at taking this sort of bitter medicine. Newt Gingrich, as is well known, left his first wife and their two daughters. Bob Dole left his first wife and their daughter. And both men, in classic male fashion, then married younger women. Does Republican moralist-in-chief Bennett think Dole and Gingrich, in this regard, are good? Does he think they're bad? He has never said.

...dramatically. The final was a 36-hole, match-play affair--meaning the golfers played to win each hole against a single opponent rather than accumulate the lowest score for the total field. As he began the last 18 holes, Woods was down five holes to his even younger opponent, Steve Scott, 19, from the University of Florida. With three holes remaining, he was still two down.

With its sci-fi lineup, UPN is courting older male viewers--but, notes senior executive VP Len Grossi, "not 50-plus CBS older...
...realized the piano's vast potential and created the modern piano recital, who became the first modern conductor, concerned with musical lines, color and expression rather than simply beating time. As proselytizer he sped the acceptance of countless composers. As the inspirational teacher of a Burke's Peerage of younger pianists, he originated master classes (and, though his own means were slight, he never accepted a fee). Moreover, it was Liszt, frequently decorated by nobles and heads of state, who broke down the class barriers that had earlier relegated Haydn and Mozart to the status of servants...
