...Toys "R" Us superstore in Elizabeth, N.J. There are barely a dozen cars in the parking lot. The aisles inside the store are spacious, well lighted--and empty. A row of 20 cash registers stands idle while a lone clerk in a red apron and braids rings up a diaper sale for Kim Essen, 29, and daughters Samantha, 21 months, and Alana, 6 months. As Kim wheels her cart out of the store, she turns and says, "I like shopping here because it's always empty." That's one competitive advantage that Nakasone will be glad to lose...
...great majority of us, however, the latest news about the brain did little more than remind us of other ways we can screw up--only this time it isn't just diaper changing on the line; it's the emotional and intellectual growth of our newborns. Cathy Smith, my daughter's teacher at Sing 'n Dance, says lots of moms seem preoccupied with the social and cognitive development of their babies.

Parents should take similar precautions when changing diapers, and diaper-age babies should not go into swimming pools. Even in wading pools, toddlers should wear a waterproof bathing-suit liner...
...seem small, occurring not in the corner office but in the kitchen over strained peas, with the results apparent not in the next deal but in the next generation. So we married someone whose nose can discern the vintage of a Merlot but can't smell a dirty diaper when it's right in front of him. It's easier to change the diaper than to argue over who changed the last one. So we're a little more tired, and men are pulling a fast one on these gullible pollsters. In the end, we're the ones who just...
