Date: July 8, 2001
Author: Somini Sengupta
QUOTE: ...after nearly a decade of unprecedented economic growth and well into the latest overhaul of the nation's welfare system, one in six American children — over 12 million youngsters — lived in poverty... Is this the best the United States can do? Must so many children in the nation grow up poor?

ABSTRACT: A discussion of progress in reducing the number of poor children living in poverty (now 1-in-6 as opposed to last decade's 1-in-5) and of further ways to reduce that number even more.
