| Not so long ago, the American community used to gather in the electronic town hall provided by the three broadcast networks, CBS, NBC, and ABC. For four decades, the evening news bulletins focused our national debates--Walter Cronkite's disaffection with the Vietnam War is a well-remembered turning point--but they do so no longer. First, there came CNN, in 1980. That was followed by other 24-hour cable-news channels. Now, we're well into the age of the Internet, where news and opinion surface almost every second. The American audience is fragmented as never before, a huge cultural story with implications for our cohesion as a society. |

The general belief is that such a fate would be inevitable, that there is nothing to be done to ward off a chapter in life best forgotten. Not so. |

| There's ample evidence that breast-feeding is good for a child's health.

"This is another reason women should really think about giving it a shot," says lead researcher Alison Stuebe, an obstetrician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. |
