Last week’s fighting flared in places that hadn’t seen such trouble since 1947, when Britain partitioned its former colony into secular India and Islamic Pakistan. In Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore and dozens of other cities, outraged Muslims took to the streets to protest the desecration, Hindus retaliated and the mostly Hindu police cracked down hard. Muslim mobs in Pakistan and Bangladesh sacked Hindu temples, Indian businesses and a few diplomatic offices....

I wrote the article–many articles and a book, in fact–to describe what it was like to have a child who never walked or talked, who would be in diapers all of his days, whose care precluded any semblance of normal family life for the rest of us. I became a writer and a family advocate as a response to the anti-institutional bias in this country and the tendency to canonize the handicapped and the families–most significantly the mothers–who care for them at home....

That’s certainly true in Hong Kong these days. Set against the backdrop of an intensifying debate on the scope of political reform, a by-election to fill one vacant seat in Hong Kong’s 60-member legislature (known as Legco) set for Dec. 2 has become “a battle of the titans,” as local headlines blare.

Anson Chan, deputy to Hong Kong’s last British governor and first Beijing-appointed leader, entered the election fray to push for universal suffrage....
