I disagree. Our obligation should be to report what is reported. Not to obscure merely for the sake of some rather ill-defined notion of "privacy" or some such thing. Do you think we should not report the names of the children of Edward III who died as infants? I think it's interesting to see what he and his wife named each of his children. In addition, if a biography subject had no children, one child, or 12 children, is very important to presenting a full picture of the person. Children have a great impact on parents. If our sources discuss the children, then we should as well. If they don't, then we shouldn't either. Will Johnson In a message dated 2/22/2009 1:23:12 P.M.
