This program is all about giving our kids a healthy start in life. We hope that, by pursuing this option, we'll be able to insure more kids for fewer dollars.

We hope we've acted in time to avoid anyone becoming sick as a result of this incident. We advise anyone who believes that they or their child may have been exposed to tainted food to contact their local health department to report the exposure.

Parents who think that affordable health coverage for their kids is an impossible dream should explore CHIP as a solution.

There's nothing more nasty than giving kids hope and then snatching it away as fast as you can.

Just like the strangers who'd fed me in El Salvador or South Africa, I was going to have to see and understand the hunger of other, different men and women, and make a gesture of welcome, and eat with them. And just as I hadn't "deserved" any of what had been given to me—the fish, the biscuits, the tea so abundantly poured out back in those years—I didn't deserve communion myself now. I wasn't getting it because I was good. I wasn't getting it because I was special. I certainly didn't get to pick who else was good enough, holy enough, deserving enough, to receive it. It wasn't a private meal. The bread on that Table had to be shared with everyone in order for me to really taste it.

The third goal was a killer, but the kids competed hard and played well.
