I used to only put short-circuits when I really needed short-circuit behavior, thinking it improved readability. But after getting by the implicit type conversions over and over (as well as nags from every compiler) I just decided it was a bad idea in C++. I'd still do it in a safer language, but in C++ I'm convinced you should just use && even when you only need & for bools.
