...learned tomes, as befits two scholars holding bachelor's degrees in English literature. Says Shuster: "In a Julius Caesar scene, we try to do it so no classics professor would quarrel with it." They have also spoofed Mother Goose, Robin Hood, Les Miserables, and kidded the stirrups off "adult" westerns in a skit titled: "The Frontier Psychiatrist . . . dedicated to the brave men who brought mental health to the West...

If the mother's dosage has been recent, her baby suffers drastic toxic effects, and often dies. The infant's symptoms resemble those of agonized adult withdrawal: convulsions, no appetite, bluish pallor, heavy sweating, endless, high-pitched crying. Since a pregnant woman addict may look quite normal-and rarely reveals her habit-the doctor is likely at first to suspect other ailments with similar symptoms, e.g., calcium deficiency. Proper treatment may be too late to prevent fatal...
