| Abstract: | U.S. Secretary of Education William J. Bennett discusses the federal government's failure over the past two decades to alter substantially many of the problems facing the nation's youth. He suggests that the family is better able to make decisions regarding the well-being of its young members than is the federal government and that federal policy, therefore, should be concerned primarily in strengthening rather than supplanting the family's influence and authority.
