Cutting off parent can be self-preservation, not cruelty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
She brought up a memory of her own mother, who had lost a 2-year-old daughter to a childhood disease.

She then tried to reason that her mother, enduring a hard life on an Indiana farm, was probably just expressing grief. Possibly true, but the hurt haunted the surviving daughter until her last breath, nearly a century after the words were spoken. A trend has grown in recent

Closed primaries a curse on our democracy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I didn't leave my political party; my party left me. Both of them. I've been a Democrat, and I've been a Republican. What I am now doesn't matter. The point is that a lot of American voters feel perpetually frustrated by the choices they find on the November ballot. The Democratic or Republican candidate is often chosen in low-turnout primaries where organized ideologues or special interest groups select the nominee.
