How to query user stories with no children???

When creating a work-item query in RTC, is there a way to select only stories that do NOT have any children of type "story"? If so, then it would be useful since these "leaf-level" user stories represent the iteration-level stories that we need to consider in iteration planning. I realize we also need to consider the higher-level stories (epics) but at least one view of the backlog would be to look only at the highest-priority iteration-level user stories and pull from those and assign them to the scrum teams.
Any ideas on how to select only "leaf-level" stories?

Thanks,
Phil

I have a similar problem where I want to query stories with no Parents to get the highest level (epic) stories. I wanted to create a query that would find items of type story with parents that do not exist, but there is no way that I can find to negate an add condition. Shouldn't there be a way to say "this, that, but not that" in the query builder instead of just AND and OR?

Thanks.
