Gathering documentation from 71 hospitals, a University of Colorado team headed by Pediatrician C. Henry Kempe found 302 battered-child cases in a single year; 33 of the children died, 85 suffered permanent brain damage.

Yet last week, when Colorado gracefully gave him his B.S. in aeronautical engineering, President Quigg Newton aptly explained: "For years to come, his example of courage and character, and of what a man can make of his life if he wills to do so, will serve as an inspiration to thousands of young people in this university...
