		Fred Rogers found a way to name those fears and to tell kids that admitting them was a way of being strong enough to deal with them.
		And that achievement shouldn't be confused with feel-good self-help therapy, with the emotional fascism of Oprah-speak that tells people it's important to express their feelings (no matter how they make anyone else feel in the process), with the security blanket mentality that denies every unpleasant reality and complication of life.

	Salon Brilliant Careers \| Fred Rogers
		Rogers has resisted merchandising, razzle-dazzle, fads (though he did break dance once on the show) and technological flash (it took until 1999 for Rogers to agree to put up a "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" Web site), reasoning that children's basic needs don't change with the decades.
		Rogers has written more than 200 songs in his career, and he imparts many of his messages through simple lyrics that speak plainly to a child's concerns.
		As "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" rolls on (he still makes a few new episodes every year, mixing them in with old ones), and as time takes its toll on the cast (woodworker Bob Trow and chef Don Brockett have both passed on), there seems to be a new urgency to Rogers' mission.

	Mister Rogers takes off the cardigan (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Rogers' kindly TV persona, and the sense of unhurried calm it creates, is no accident: Everything in the Neighborhood is geared toward Rogers' belief that preschool children need the comfort provided by a slow, simple format.
		In part, that's because Rogers is renowned for being picky about endorsements and tie-ins: He makes no commercial appearances (he won't even participate in PBS station pledge breaks) and has limited the marketing of Neighborhood products to books, videos and a few basic toys that he believes can help stimulate a young child's imagination.
		Yet Rogers hasn't lost his faith in television, or his belief that it can be used to spread the basic message he has preached to children for 33 years on his show: that they are loved and capable of loving.
