Finally embracing reality, Rick Santorum decided to take the easy way out rather than the hard way, leaving the GOP presidential race before a potentially humiliating loss in his home state. The race has been a foregone conclusion for weeks, but Santorum did indicate that the weekend and the illness of his daughter did cause he and his wife to reflect on the race and their responsibility as parents. In defeat he was humble and sincere, and in recapping the race he charted the improbable course of his campaign. For cynics, it was maybe the first speech of his next campaign, an option he leaves open by not fighting to the bitter end and by not making himself a pariah in the race.

Dick Franklin was reclining on a beach in Maui 13 years ago, reading a novel, when he heard a blood-curdling scream. His wife, D.A. Franklin, had been snorkeling with their daughter Missy, then just under 3, when the toddler suddenly gave chase to a beautiful fish as it headed out to sea.  ¶  “She just took off, both fins just going like this,” Dick Franklin said, his hands imitating her splashes. “D.A., of course, can’t catch her. . . . Hence the scream.”  ¶  Dick Franklin leaped out of his chair, threw his book into the sand and plunged into the surf to try to retrieve his daughter.  ¶  “I caught her 35 feet out in the ocean,” he said, “in about 12 feet of water.”  ¶  Said D.A., a casual swimmer: “That was it. I was done. I never snorkled with her again.”  ¶  Almost since birth, Missy Franklin, now 16, possessed an unusual appetite and aptitude for moving through bodies of water. A junior honors student at Aurora’s Regis Jesuit High, Franklin owns a world record and five world championship medals and, with the London Olympicsapproaching, already draws frequent comparisons to Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian ever.
