...were the candidate, she would probably, like most male candidates, be in her 40s or 50s. Her children would already be at least adolescents, thus sparing the nation bulletins from a maternity hospital ("The President and baby are doing well") and jokes about the latest White House formula or diaper pins. It might well be that a cigar-smoking, oddsmaking computer would opt for a widow as the ideal candidate, since that would remove the husband question yet endow her with a patina of nonthreatening domestic respectability. Throw in a couple of grown children, the computer might...
...passed through filters, keeping Deborah free from germs and so clean that it was necessary to give her only one bath a week. There was the usual diaper change, but little other laundering; a single, 10-yd.-long sheet was stored on a spool at one end of the compartment and rolled through into a hamper on the other end as it was soiled; it had to be laundered just once a week.

...someone is going to put a wet diaper in your hand, pick Sandy Dennis to do it. The girl makes it seem like some sort of unpublicized honor.

There was ice cream, of course, and a jar of wheat germ labeled "Strom's secret formula." Thurmond's second wife, 24, is about to present the 68-year-old Senator with his first child. Said...
...happen: a fratricidal war between the makers of washable and disposable diapers. Seizing the environmental initiative, the powerful Diaper Service Industry Association will spend more than a million dollars this year on ads aimed mainly at Procter & Gamble's throwaway Pampers, which enjoyed a lion's share of the estimated $200 million market last year. "If you were a baby," goes one sample ad, "what would you want to wear-soft, cuddly cotton or stiff and sticky plastic and paper?" The pitch stresses that cloth diapers, unlike disposables, are reusable, a point bolstered by New York City hospitals...
