DOES FATHER KNOW BEST?

(2 of 2)

Even in the Simpson trial, there is a double standard. No one seems concerned that Robert Shapiro, who has young children, is out many nights at the Eclipse, the Beverly Hills restaurant of the moment, and no one dwells on Johnnie Cochran's troubled record as a husband. The double standard means a working mother not only has to worry that someone else will see her child take his first step while she is reading a brief but also that if she achieves success in a man's world, her child won't be there when she gets home.
