Whether produced with the help of fertility drugs or naturally, premature babies always suffer from being expelled from the womb before they are ready. Figuring that preemies miss the security of the womb, Dr. Louis Gluck of San Diego's University Hospital has designed a tiny, heated water bed to simulate the warmth and buoyant pulsations of the baby's uterine environment. He also attached a tiny motor that provides motion similar to what the fetus experienced when the mother's heart beat and as she walked about. The preemie's sense of security is further...

Until this moment we cannot be certain that the movie is going to employ every cliche of antebellum melodrama. The possibility that the perfection of its tastelessness will be marred through oversight or the impulse to provide novelty through omission is an irritant. There is great relief when, at last, our heroine (Susan George) succeeds...
