    The New Yorker will be the magazine which is not edited for the old lady from Dubuque.
    —Harold W. Ross (1892–1951)

    I respect guilt. It is a dangerous but sometimes useful beast. The guilt that made me want to solve all my children’s problems meant trouble. The guilt that made me question my role in our mother-daughter squabbles proved helpful. Yes, I care about my kids’ problems, and I long to make suggestions. But these days I wait for children to ask for help, and I give it sparingly. Some things can’t be fixed, and I tell them so.
    —Susan Ferraro (20th century)
