Love, Freedom, Patriotism

William J. Clinton

Rick Perry

Government, Lost, Become

Tom Hanks

Emma Thompson

Work, Problem, Moral

At certain historic moments, grandparents took on childrearing responsibilities. In many cultures, they still do. Chinese grandparents who are able to retire at 55 are seen all over Beijing bouncing grandbabies. In the United States, we can't afford to retire at 55.

Theresa May
