Nobody, today, can accurately call the Brooke-Tsongas race. Nor can anyone yet predict the Hatch-King race. Hatch-King will probably boil down to a clear liberal-versus-conservative battle, unless Tip O'Neill calls in his favors throughout the Democratic party to try to save Ed King, and therefore his son Tom. But even if Hatch-King is clearly a liberal-conservative choice, the races so far have been so confused by other factors that nobody has a clear idea of where the balance of power lies...

In many underdeveloped areas, no clean water is available--so sewage -fouled and bacteria-infested water ends up being fed to babies. In addition, many poor mothers lack the pots and/or fuel necessary to boil and therefore sterilize the one bottle and nipple they own. Because the formula is so expensive, it is quite often diluted so that its nutritional content is far from adequate; and some families compose look-alike substitutes out of corn starch and water or tea once the formula runs out.
