i believe the famous nytimes covered it when they covered his wife a few weeks ago. saying they had tried for children for a number of years before going for adoption.

I don't think the stature of his forthcoming employment is relevant. Maybe he's impotent. Maybe Mrs. Roberts has some health issues. Maybe they just want to "rescue" Third World kids. I find it pretty offensive that anybody has any interest in poking around the Roberts' privacy of reproduction, aside from perhaps their family physician.

"Has Roberts ever said why he did adopt kids instead of having his own? Inquiring minds want to know! Since these guys get lifetime appointments and determine the rules that govern our lives, I think we should be able to know everything about them"

It's really none of our damn business, Chris.

Perhaps because his wife was 41 when they married.
