...children as fathers do. Psychologist Carin Rubenstein, author of The Sacrificial Mother, found that twice as many moms as dads are involved at school. Soccer moms make up a third of soccer coaches. When the real crunch comes, 83% of mothers stay home with a sick child, reading Goodnight Moon endlessly, compared with 22% of fathers...
...some 10,000 boys, girls, moms and dads. (U.S. Space Camp parent-child programs are also available in Huntsville, Ala., and Mountain View, Calif.) The ultimate hands-on science museum, it gives you a chance to say yes the next time Junior asks if he can go to the moon. Upon arrival, a maximum of 72 participants are broken up into six teams of 12. From that moment on, the activities are nonstop. You'll build and launch your own rockets, participate in very realistic space simulations, and tour the Kennedy Space Center and the Astronaut Hall of Fame...

...have answered so many astonishing questions in the century now ending--Can we put a man on the moon? How do atoms work?--that the unanswerable rankles a bit. But mysteries endure, and even after a century of Roosevelts, peppered with a Gorbachev and a Mandela and a Churchill, we are no closer to an answer for the greatest of historical questions: Where do leaders come from...
