***An Email From Ben Stein***

This article says that Dr. Benjamin Spock's son committed suicide, but this is not the case. Both of his sons, Michael and John, are still alive. Michael's son, Peter, (Dr. Spock's grandson) did commit suicide.

This whole paragraph about Spock's son committing suicide, appeared, word of word, 10 or 11 years ago in an article attributed to Billy Graham's daughter. I'm not sure that even she was the origin of it, just that the statement was attributed to her.

It makes me wonder whether Ben Stein actually wrote this piece.
