...ahead of the previous record, complained that they had not been properly fed and "it's extremely boring." Three other young titlists came better prepared. Setting their own private record for unicycle riding (50 hr.), they brought along Johnson's baby powder to alleviate what they called "diaper rash" and kept happy in the saddle for a record 50 by playing cards, Ping Pong and pool...

...Frankie in our bed, while the baby crawled, crying on the floor. Everything was red then too -only it gets mixed up, screaming, the kitchen drawer, the silver knife. And the red again-on the sheets, the wall, my hands, his face, her legs, even mijo's diaper turned red-ha, ha, the red bed -"Shut-up old woman, why are you yelling in my head? SHUT...

That will give you some brief notion of Dr. Hero. Yes, the central figure is our old friend and sometime bore, Everyman; but dismiss your initial, legitimate worries.

Dusted liberally over baby's bottom to prevent diaper rash, talcum powder is considered by most parents to be safe. That assumption is not necessarily true. There have been scattered incidents in the U.S. of severe skin rashes and even poisoning from powder containing dangerous ingredients. Last year doctors warned that a high asbestos content in talc could lead to lung cancer. French medical authorities in the 1950s blamed a talc accidentally laced with arsenic for killing 69 infants. Last week the French government indicted a talcum powder for the recent deaths of 28 babies. The suspected ingredient: hexachlorophene...
