He says he wants to ban abortion, but once let slip that, if his daughter wanted one, he would leave the choice to her.
Such moderation, though appealing to swing voters, is anathema to those who equate abortion with murder.
Mr McCain's campaign, which nearly fell apart last summer, is running more smoothly now.
Under Steve Schmidt, Mr McCain's chief strategist since July, the message has grown more negative.

His macho impenetrability concealed a sensitivity of which he felt ashamed.
Instead, he decides, Jason will have the ears of his best friend and partner, Officer Bryan Chapman.
Until his second marriage, Barbara's father had been rejected in every intimate relationship of his life.
An emotionally reactive adult child can further wound a parent who is already emotionally crippled.
Unable to see her father in ordinary human terms, Barbara did not see him at all.
In either case, caretaking actually consists of two different but related kinds of responsibilities.
Blind and hurtful to her father's tender feelings, Barbara also developed a blind spot in relationship with other men.
But Barbara's deliberate and respectful tenderness allowed her father the consolation he needed to mature and love back.
The emotional remnants of his grandfather's parting eventually became embedded within his father's childhood.
We need to know and understand our parents childhoods to understand them.
Requesting that parents talk about painful times is asking them to expose feelings they would most likely rather leave alone.
Adult children must ask the vulnerable to make themselves more vulnerable still.
It feels dangerous to bare one's soul in an atmosphere of antagonism.
Parents who feel guilt or shame also fear their revelations will diminish the love and respect that their children have for them.
We need to feel we will be understood and not have our revelations used against us.
It is hard to tell who is more vulnerable at times like these: children to their parents or parents to their children.
Ears will improve his hearing twenty percent by collecting sound waves and drawing them into the auditory canals.
Adults are repeatedly surprised at how quickly they regress to childhood feelings when this happens.
Triggers to old hurt can quickly overwhelm mature expression, making it feel as if hard-won maturity were merely a veneer.
We have to respect our parents personal standards of integrity, guilt, or shame.
One responsibility involves direct patient care, the providing of food, medication, assistance, comforting.
The commandment requires us to treat our parents respectfully no matter how we see them.
In striving to honor formerly hurtful parents, adult children transform their relationship with them.
Often, we must go against the grain of powerful feelings in order to move relationships beyond where they have been stuck for years.
Even if a parent does not yet venture new information, future talks might proceed from these preliminary inquiries.
But when my son was born, I thought, My dad must have once loved me like this.
So I went over to his house to show him his grandson.
The boy had been sentenced to a life of uncomforted grief, guilt, and nightmarish secrecy.
It was so out of character.
He had always blamed everyone else for his problems.

As his second term ticks down, even Mr Bush has begun to see the limits of unilateralism.
There is anger, withdrawal, depression and, finally, acceptance.
America should regard their success as a tribute, not a threat, and celebrate in it.
The other involves taking over the patient's former household functions.
Everybody goes through bad times.
The extent of the second depends on the first: the more care the spouse requires, the less he or she will be able to perform former household functions.
Interestingly, it is the second set of duties rather than the direct helping that caretakers find more onerous.
Perhaps they are not accustomed to the given tasks or do not feel competent about doing them.
Or perhaps having those particular tasks reinforces the sense of loss of what the other spouse had formerly done or been in the marriage.
Among these long-married caretaking couples, four patterns can be discerned, each with its own special arrangements, expectations, possibilities, and challenges, and also each with its own experiences and stories.
These are wives taking care of husbands; husbands taking care of wives; wives and husbands taking care of each other; and not yet caretakers.
This first group is numerically the largest, primarily due to gender differences in health and aging, as previously discussed.
In addition, customarily the women were younger than the men when they married, with two or five years being the usual age difference.
Therefore, in their later years, the wives are both younger and stronger than their husbands.
In some ways, wives who take care of their husbands may find it easier than how husbands experience taking care of their wives.
Still preserved in the hydrometers, even broken ones, were delicate paper scales.
For a wife in the current older generation, spousal caretaking may almost seem to be a variation or extension of her nurturing role in the family all along.
She has already been accustomed to being the provider of food, medication, support, attention, and affection.
Violation of this law was made a high misdemeanor, and punished accordingly.

In preparation for the dance, the medicine man and the dancers cleanse themselves in a sweat lodge, Duncan said.
Although the clown may be the smallest, he really is the most powerful, Duncan said, because he is half-man, half-spirit.
They follow the lead of the medicine man, who moves through a series of songs.

We could detect the very sober and the very drunk with a high degree of accuracy, he said, although the clues were less reliable for people in between.
In my previous two books, I laid out some of the growing reasons to think that evolution was even richer than Darwin supposed.
Modern evolutionary theory has come to view selection as the sole source of order in biological organisms.
But the snowflake's delicate sixfold symmetry tells us that order can arise without the benefit of natural selection.
Instead, much of the order in organisms, I believe, is self-organized and spontaneous.
Self-organization mingles with natural selection in barely understood ways to yield the magnificence of our teeming biosphere.
We must, therefore, expand evolutionary theory.
I sensed my long search would uncover issues that were then only dimly visible to me.
I hoped the unfolding, ongoing notebook would allow me to find the themes, and link them into something that was vast and new, but at the time, inarticulate.
My second and core question became, What must a physical system be to be an autonomous agent?
Make no mistake, we autonomous agents mutually construct our biosphere, even as we coevolve in it.
Why and how this is so is a central subject of all that follows.
Any computer program is an algorithm that, given data, produces some sequence of output, finite or infinite.
Sometimes, although usually not at first, caretaking wives have turned to adult sons or sons-in-law for advice or assistance with what had formerly been men's tasks.
Computer programs can always be written in the form of a binary symbol string of one and zero symbols.
All possible binary symbol strings are possible computer programs.
Hence, there is a countable, or denumerable, infinity of computer programs.
A theorem states that for most computer programs, there is no compact description of the printout of the program.
Rather, we must just unleash the program and watch it print what it prints.
In short, there is no shorter description of the output of the program than that which can be obtained by running the program itself.
On the other hand, no one designed and built the biosphere.
The biosphere got itself constructed by the emergence and persistent coevolution of autonomous agents.
If there can not be general laws for all open thermodynamic systems, might there be general laws for thermodynamically open but self-constructing systems such as biospheres?
I believe that the answer is yes.
So we confront a virtuous cycle: Work constructs constraints, yet constraints on the release of energy are required for work to be done.
Here is the heart of a new concept of organization that is not covered by our concepts of matter alone, energy alone, entropy alone, or information alone.
The answers appear not to be present in contemporary physics, chemistry, or biology.
But a coevolving biosphere accomplishes just this coconstruction of propagating organization.
But they have done so reluctantly and usually not until their husbands conditions noticeably lasted or worsened.
We have much to investigate.
At the end, I think we will know more than at the outset.
But investigation is at best a mere beginning.
If an ink drop is placed in still water in a petri dish, it will diffuse to a uniform equilibrium distribution.
That uniform distribution is an average over an enormous number of atoms or molecules, and is not due to the behavior of individual molecules.
Any local fluctuations in ink concentration soon dissipate back to equilibrium.
If genes are constituted by as few as several hundred atoms, the familiar statistical fluctuations predicted by statistical mechanics would be so large that heritability would be essentially impossible.
Spontaneous mutations would happen at a frequency vastly larger than observed.
Quantum mechanics ensures that solids have rigidly ordered molecular structures.
A crystal is the simplest case.
But crystals are structurally dull.
The atoms are arranged in a regular lattice in three dimensions.
If you know the positions of all the atoms in a minimal-unit crystal, you know where all the other atoms are in the entire crystal.
This overstates the case, for there can be complex defects, but the point is clear.
Crystals have very regular structures, so the different parts of the crystal, in some sense, all say the same thing.
Until then, most wives have tried to do everything themselves.
The stuff of the gene, he bets, is some form of aperiodic crystal.
The form of the aperiodicity will contain some kind of microscopic code that somehow controls the development of the organism.
The quantum character of the aperiodic solid will mean that small discrete changes, or mutations, will occur.
Natural selection, operating on these small discrete changes, will select out favorable mutations, as Darwin hoped.
I am not entirely convinced of what lies within this book; the material is too new and far too surprising to warrant conviction.
Yet the pathways I have stumbled along, glimpsing what may be a terra nova, do seem to me to be worth serious presentation and serious consideration.
One direction suggests that an answer to this question may demand a fundamental alteration in how we have done science since Newton.
Life is doing something far richer than we may have dreamed, literally something incalculable.
It will take a while to fully explore this definition.
Unpacking its implications reveals much that I did not remotely anticipate.
An early insight is that an autonomous agent must be displaced from thermodynamic equilibrium.
Work cycles can not occur at equilibrium.
Thus, the concept of an agent is inherently a nonequilibrium concept.
To begin to understand the molecular diversity revolution, consider a crude estimate of the total organic molecular diversity of the biosphere.
There are perhaps a hundred million species.
First of all, nurturing and tending have not been things that men of the current older generation customarily have done, were expected to do, wanted to do, or were comfortable doing.
A sharp eyed coyote, dollars springing from his ears, sits at the roadside.
It is not that these men do not care about their wives and families, but they have defined taking care in terms of their own masculine skills of organization, management, and efficiency.
These are the skills they have been comfortable using and have tried to apply in taking care of their wives.
The skills of nurturing, patience, and empathy have been seen by both genders as the women's skills, not the men's.
Second, domestic household tasks will have been handled by the wives.
In fact, cleaning rooms, doing the laundry, shopping for groceries, and making meals were actually looked down upon by most of the husbands.
They often carefully avoided those tasks through preoccupation in their own tasks or through assumed helplessness in the kitchen or laundry room.
Third, the wives usually will have been the social managers of the families, making and maintaining friends, entertaining and accepting invitations, arranging activities with others.
Few of today's caretaking husbands feel they have the skill or experience or even the energy and patience to try to learn.
Instead, they find themselves relying increasingly for company on adult children who live nearby, or they remain without much social companionship or activities.
Love demands sacrifice, and love binds us.
Our attachments to those we love constrict us as much as they anchor us.
Our parents bound themselves in sacrifice to us when we were young; the Fifth Commandment says we should bind ourselves in allegiance to them when they are old.
Children see their worth in their parents eyes while they are growing up; parents see their worth in their children's eyes as they themselves age.
We care for our children when they are young.
We hope our children will care for us when we become old.
And we cast each scenario in cinematic terms, since the end has already been imagined in dozens of movies.

The simple formula for assuring the wildness of this valley is wild land.
Conservation biologists know that the more human beings in an area, the fewer the carnivores.
Some carnivores, for example, will not cross major highways.
Diversity helps assure survival; if a crop of huckleberries fails one year, buffalo-berries may take up the slack.
While wildness in this valley is what keeps the carnivores alive, it also makes the study of carnivores difficult.
The dirt road that crosses the border used to have a customs station.
The logistical challenges are a small price to pay for carnivore security, most experts agree.
