...attempt a real symphony or concerto at every concert? Why not attempt a real piece of twentieth century music at every concert: not Frank Martin, Roberto Gerhard, Alberto Ginastera, or the diaper works of Piston, Prokofiev, and Bartok; but Schoenberg, recent Stravinsky, our own Kirchner. Of course these works are too hard for the orchestra; but the attempts would be worth much more than regurgitations--and bad regurgitations--of Mendelssohn and Faure...
...every adult American can figure that he is on at least 20 different lists, from mail-order houses to the phone company. The cycle starts before birth, when more aggressive members of the industry pay off hospital personnel for the names of expectant mothers that they can sell to diaper-service companies and baby photographers. The child joins a list in his own right the first time he sends in a cereal box top, makes it again at high-school graduation when his name is gleaned from a yearbook or supplied by a cap-and-gown manufacturer. From then...
...pediatrician for a second test. In case the mother has no pediatrician, or feels she cannot afford to use one, the health department gives her an alternative. Along with the explanatory leaflet the mother gets some filter paper, with instructions to put a piece inside the baby's diaper. After the wet diaper is removed, the mother dries the paper and mails it to a state laboratory, where chemical analysis will diagnose PKU. This urine test is rated useful, but not quite as reliable as the heel-blood test...
...first and put on a sterile gown, cap and mask. Lining the pale green wall was a row of Plexiglas-covered incubators. The babies who wriggled and squeaked in them last week were being treated like miniature maharajahs, with the most expert and intensive care around the clock. To diaper them with out changing the balmy temperature of their isolation, nurses worked through armholes in the incubator sides. Some of the babies were no bigger than a man's two fists, and all were tiny. Since their weight at birth was less than 5½ Ibs., they were classed...
...BORIC ACID, once a favorite remedy for minor irritations such as diaper rash and prickly heat, can be fatal. Most insidious are the cases in which frequent application allows boric acid to be absorbed into the body through broken or irritated skin or through mucous membranes. Since the body is slow to eliminate the chemical, it accumulates in the liver and kidneys; in infants it sometimes causes nausea, convulsions and death. For years pediatricians have been wary of boric acid. Now a research team at St. John's University College of Pharmacy in New York City has developed...
