I was charmed by Robert MacNeil, in person as well as in the book, but was sad to realize that his fame and professional stature came at the cost of his family life. What a dilemma for caring men--and now for many caring women as well. Family life is not at all easy, and must be hardest of all on a parent who is trying to do it alone, or largely alone (e.g., MacNeil's first two wives).
