- The Anti-Helicopter Parent’s Plea: Let Kids Play! (NYT) "That is, kids don’t play outside because other kids don’t play outside. Playing outside becomes like Betamax — it’s just obsolete. But in the case of a playborhood, the vicious circle transforms into a virtuous one: When there’s always another kid to play with, most kids want to play."

HEALTH:
- More than half of U.S. kids don't get dental sealants, and the CDC wants schools to change that (LA Times) "Sealants can reduce the risk of cavities by 81% over two years and keep fighting cavities for up to nine years, according to the Community Preventive Services Task Force, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

NEWS:
- General Cartwright is paying the price for Hillary Clinton’s sins (WaPo) "Cartwright’s greatest mistake was not talking to reporters or lying about it; he failed to play the Washington game skillfully enough to avoid becoming a scapegoat for a system in which senior officials skirt the rules and then fall back on their political power to save them. One notable difference between Cartwright’s case and that of Clinton and Petraeus was the fact that Cartwright was the subject of a leak investigation. The Obama administration has prosecuted twice as many leakers as all previous administrations combined."

TECHNOLOGY:
- Whoever Wins the White House, This Year’s Big Loser Is Email (NYT) "Why were all these people discussing so much over email in the first place? The answer, of course, is that email is as tempting as it is inescapable, for Mrs. Clinton as well as for the rest of us. More than 50 years after its birth, email exerts an uncanny hold on all of our internal affairs."
