Faith of My Fathers ... Indeed

Like father, like child.

Like son. Carl and son Rob Reiner are preparing to be fĂȘted by LA's Film Society with a joint 2008 Achievement in Film Award. Carl, is at least much funnier publicly — having been a genius behind the Dick Van Dyke Show and partner with Melvin Kaminsky; Rob, much more involved with movies such as "This Is Spinal Tap," "When Harry Met Sally" and "The Bucket List."

Like daughter.
Jim Beal, 43, and daughter Rachel, 18, are both members of the Lisbon Falls (Me.) Fire Company. He's a 10-year vet, she a volunteer since age 14, who couldn't wait until she could join and now plans to make it a career.

Like president? Admiral John Sidney McCain II, the senior military official in the Pacific region from 1968-72, believed the U.S. "lost" the fighting in Vietnam by not staying long enough and fighting hard enough. Among the many other similarities, Senator, Son and author "Faith of My Fathers" JSM III is committed to pursuing his father's Vietnam experience (?)/policy (?) in Iraq should he be elected Commander-in-Chief.
