...report detailed how Presidents' kids had a tendency to become drunks or get sick, have an accident or die young. Many of them gave their lives over to defending their fathers in history. Some quit their jobs or couldn't hold them; some couldn't get it together at all. George Washington Adams, the son of John Quincy Adams, is thought to have committed suicide at 28. Others walked away from colleges and universities, or they wrote bad papers and gave lectures about why Martin van Buren was right to oppose annexing Texas. Sixteen made it to Congress, but none...

With CNN and AOL, we'll report both actively and interactively for print, television and the Internet. I say this not to brag, but so that some person sitting in this chair 52 years from now can find this page and be amused by how quaint we seem...
...mother of an adolescent girl and a former girl myself, I'm happy to report that it's a swell time to be female. Girls today get to be strong or soft--they play with Barbies and bulldozers. Years of concern over the self-esteem of girls have resulted in a tide of aspiring Mia Hamms and Madeleine Albrights. But what happened to the boys? Why does the phrase "girl power" bring Hillary Clinton to mind, while "boy power" reminds us of Columbine...
