Many elder clients are going through a tough time of life. Their children may live out of town; their spouses may be deceased. They may be struggling with illness or incapacity. Says Kate Mewhinney, a clinical professor at the Wake Forest University School of Law: "We had a woman here this week who said, 'I wake up in the middle of the night worrying about if I have to go into a nursing home.' She's 79, very healthy. She said, 'I really worry. Will I lose everything? Will I lose my home? Where do I stand in terms...
Deanna Wolfe, 47, lives alone in a cabin up on Zebulon Mountain performing a "hybrid job" for the National Park Service and the Forest Service.

Will he feel similarly at home taking questions from an audience? He's also not carrying the advantage of the carefully lowered expectations that preceded him into the first two encounters. If he keeps his wits about him and nails a few specifics, he could win the day. But if he sinks into a verbal morass, as he's done consistently during off-the-cuff exchanges on the campaign trail, he might...
