The Little Girl Who's Had Enough Of Politics

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Now let's follow up on the tragic story of Abigael Adams. The four-year-old lives in Fort Collins, Colorado.

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

MONTAGNE: Afterward, Time magazine declared: we are all Abigael Evans, and such heartfelt concern deserves an answer.

INSKEEP: We're reminded this morning of a famous incident when a girl wrote a New York newspaper asking if there was really a Santa Claus.
