Mother and son were both in family court last week, where Qubilah often reached over to wipe away Malcolm's tears. Prosecutors say they will press charges "to the fullest." Meanwhile, Betty Shabazz rests precariously in the hospital, where she underwent three painful operations last week to replace her burned flesh with temporary grafts of artificial skin. For much of her life, one of her personal mottoes has been "Find the good and then celebrate it." This time, the good may be too hard to find.
