...thrilled and felt [like I was] on top of the world," said Judith Palfrey '67, who learned of the appointment in her office at Children's Hospital in Boston. Palfrey is Brazelton professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and lived in North House--now Pforzheimer--as an undergraduate...

Well, yeah, says Brazelton, professor emeritus at Harvard Medical School and chairman of the Pampers Parenting Institute. That's the trouble.

It certainly might be taken that way, even though Leach and Rosemond acknowledge that Brazelton was giving the same advice long before he and Pampers hooked up.
