...latest example of this is the enormity of coverage on parents who are crazily obsessed with giving their children a head start. By middle school the kids are world-weary and anxiety-ridden. These domineering parents are the subject of books such as Alissa Quart's Hothouse Kids, Alexandra Robbins' The Overachievers and Madeline Levine's The Price of Privilege. Or last year's media sensation, Judith Warner's Perfect Madness, about mothers on the brink of insanity as they seek to create perfect childhoods for their tots.

Pedaling with a bum hip, FLOYD LANDIS, 30, a Mennonite raised in Pennsylvania, didn't seem like the guy to bet on, especially after he dealt with a devastating one-day drop from first place to 11th (because of a loss of energy, known as a "bonk") by having a beer.
