| The Axis Of Amnesty’s Ideology Of Cheap Labor
Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., took the Senate floor in opposition to his Democratic colleague and, red-faced and gesticulating toward [Sen. Byron] Dorgan, defended the guest worker program, yelling, 'The idea that you can have a secure border and close it completely is something that has never happened before and will not happen now'.

Role Of New Fathers Promoted In Fathers Direct Maternity Guide
A unique guide launched today by Fathers Direct, backed by Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt, sets out the way maternity services should engage with fathers, to benefit children, mums and fathers themselves.
Including New Fathers offers a wealth of policy guidance and practical advice on how to include fathers effectively in maternity services. It reflects the changing nature of families: today, 88 per cent of fathers attend their child's birth, a figure that has risen significantly in the last 40 years and fathers now provide one third of parental care of children - eight times more than 30 years ago and more care than professional childcarers. [1].
The guide reflects first hand experiences of midwives and other professionals who work with fathers and includes many of their hints and tips.
