要大人,还是要孩子?!

第一次听说"要大人,还是要孩子"这个奇怪的问题是几十年前从一个少时挚友那里,他是一个很有些才气的青年,可惜早在我上大学时就因风湿性心脏病猝然而亡.他的死,让我难过了很长时间,第一次感到生命的脆弱与无常.他曾骄傲地告诉我,他的出生是他父亲做出的一个伟大决定的结果.     

Baby Jane Doe in the media

A review of national television, magazine, and newspaper coverage of the case of Baby Jane Doe indicates that most of it lacked perspective and context; stories were generally incomplete and often imprecise; reporting was sometimes inaccurate; and overall, inadequate attention was paid to the medical, legal, philosophical, and social implications of the case. Human-interest and political elements of the story were generally well covered. Even after taking account of the pressures and constraints of daily and weekly news reporting, we conclude that the print press and television could have done a better job without devoting more space or time to the story. This could have been done by assigning reporters with greater expertise and by paying more attention to the needs of a hypothetical "reasonable reader."
