Article in today's WSJ

The front page of today's Wall Street Journal has an interesting and =

thought-provoking article about a young man with Down syndrome whose =

parents have gone to a great deal of work to keep him in regular =

classrooms, and now he chooses to go to a special classroom, because =

that's where his friends are. While other students have been nice to him

=

in the regular classrooms, they don't include him in their leisure time

=

activities, etc.. The parents' ambivalence is discussed in a very =

thoughtful way.

I do not have a subscription to WSJ, but would like to speak with

Amy Dockster Marcus. Most of the site is restricted to subscribers.

Is there any way that you can locate her email address on the site

with your subscription and let me know? You could email me directly

if you can locate it. imdsapresident@...

Thanks
