...pattern on the empty chair next to Qusay, even some water damage on one of the walls. Saddam, she realized, was sitting in her living room. The next afternoon, acting on intelligence that Saddam had been spotted, an American B-1 dropped four 2,000-lb. bombs over a block of buildings just off 14th Ramadan Street, half a mile north of Yunis' home.

...With no likely candidate in the White House, on the internet or on TV, I almost gave up my quest for 2003's best dad. But then I found him - right down the block: My pal, David. Newly divorced, David is one of 1.3 million Americans currently sharing custody of a child - or children - with an ex-spouse.

He struggles daily to reestablish the career he'd given...
