Besides gleanings for the curious, there was some good art: early genre studies by Winslow Homer, William Glackens' moveing paintings of the Spanish-American War, and Thomas Eakins' The Agnew Clinic, 1889, a monumental study of an operation in an early hospital. There was even a small painting by the great French impressionist, Edgar Degas, of 19th Century Cotton Merchants. But the show's main appeal was to the ordinary American with a warm heart and a taste for a good story. It was a good bet that by the time the Corcoran closed its big cavalcade...
When the Rossellini baby was born last February in the guarded seclusion of Rome's Villa Margherita Clinic, eager-beaver U.S. and Italian photographers fell all over each other in the rush for an exclusive picture of mother & child. Enthusiastic bidders priced their interest at 5,000,000 lire ($8,000), and newsmen tried every imaginable method of invading the clinic, from offering bribes to the nuns on duty to scaling walls and pretending that their own wives were in the maternity division.

Sore throats, infected cars, and wheezing and coughing are baby's chief troubles, says Dr. Francis C. McDonald, the Concord physician who heads the Study. In its first year, 1,500 children were treated at the Study's Fort Devens and Mount Auburn Street clinics and in home visits by Study doctors. Since the close of the Fort Devens project last year, 1,200 have been on file at the Gold Coast building, the University's rent-free contribution to baby care. Jim Cronin hopes to annex the child clinic, originally his beer emporium, after the pediatricians move...
