...meter butterfly (55.7 sec.) and the 200-meter butterfly (2 min. 5.7 sec.), needs only to pare a total of seven seconds off his best times to set records in the 100-meter, 200-meter and 400-meter freestyle and the 200-meter individual medley (breast stroke, backstroke and crawl). At last year's Pan American games in Winnipeg, he won five gold medals.

"Baby Crawl-Along" lives up to her name, scoots across the floor on hands and knees. No sooner does "Tubsy" touch the bath water than she starts splashing. Tubsy is an angel compared with "Li'l Miss Fussy"; she dampens her diapers, then throws a tantrum, crying and kicking until she has been changed. "Baby's Hungry...
