You can tell he's coaching "W" on foreign policy. When the son talks about the need for "certainty" above all in foreign affairs, he is channeling for Dad, whose diplomatic mantra was "The enemy is uncertainty."

I don't want unpleasantness with anybody." Instead she prefers to indulge her voracious interest in art and architecture. Traveling as a young mother with her two sons and a daughter, McCain tried to impart her love of art by taking her family on trips to Winterthur and the Hermitage. It didn't rub off on the Senator.
