George Will writes about the nightmare numbers in Los Angeles.

Rich Lowry writes about a new book that examines the famous Moynihan report on the disintegration of the "Negro family" (as they called it back then) from the 1960s. What Pat Moynihan did not know then, but we know now, is that African-Americans were simply leading a general social trend of women having children without marriage, and usually raising them without a father in the home. Since there are so many other issues inside the African-American community (especially in poor, urban areas), it has been difficult to make the argument that social chaos will always ensue when children, especially male children, are reared without a father. Moynihan, whose own father abandoned his family when he was young, made that case. Now that out-of-wedlock births are so common in the general American population, we can begin to properly examine the effects of this great social experiment. Does marriage matter? By mid-century social scientists will have an answer, I think, unless other social, economic or political trends muddy the waters.

Another one bites the dust as a veteran Democratic congressman loses his seat in a primary. The Democrats may still hold this seat, but it is just another example of the anti-incumbent feeling that exists across this great land of ours.
