amics were shaped not by parental abuse but by her mother's absence during her early years.When the woman was a preschooler, her father died. Her mother, forced to go to work, put her young daughter in an orphanage for several years, unwittingly subjecting the little girl to harsh treatment there. Although her mother visited on weekends, no real bond developed between the two.Now, nearly six decades later, her mother needs care, and the daughter is willingly providing it. We've never been close, the daughter says simply. But she takes the approach that the past is over, and the present offers a fresh start.Caregiving, however noble and essential, is an act done largely in private, invisible to the world. Perhaps for that reason, it's a subject often confined to private conversations.Employees hesitate to discuss it with their employers. Friends may be sympathetic, but no one wants or needs too many details. Even other family members may not be aware of the daytoday realities. Among adults who are taking care of p

The farm, called the Whitetail facility, has divided this small, rural community by bringing good jobs and bad air.For years, family farm groups have warned of the dangers of this type of corporate agriculture. But their appeals have fallen on deaf ears.Now the rapid expansion of large, corporate livestock farms has given these groups a new weapon: noses.Corporate farms are creating such a stink that regulators and activists are fighting back. Several states have stepped up air and water enforcement of these huge facilities. Some counties and even at least on

I sat in the overheated bus, wedged between them, invisible, getting dizzy from reading Mad Magazine between the bumps.In high school I stood parting from my boyfriend at that bus stop, watching the approaching bus from the corner of my eye, willing it to move more slowly.A few years later I sat on the bench reading the newspaper while my toddler played on the swings of the 96th Street playground on the southwest corner, cattycornered from your buildi

To get a full license in Minnesota, 16yearolds must now go a full year without getting a conviction for a crash, or more than one noncrash violation.Another grouping of laws concentrates not on children, but on their parents. In Florida, couples who won't agree to four hours of marriage counseling must wait at least three days before they can tie the knot.Other states are taking tougher stands against domestic violence. Illinois has extended the death penalty to include cases in which a person protected by a court order  typically a wife or girlfriend  is killed by the person named in the order. And California now allows people who have to leave their job because of domestic abuse to collect unemployment insurance.Finally, after a year in which
