First-years, in their naivet, are most likely under the impression that she is just another beggar, one of the colorful characters that defines the distinctive cityscape that so attracted them to Harvard in the first place.

James McKenna, a Notre Dame professor familiar with baby-parent sleeping patterns, hints that babies who sleep with their parents may be at a lower risk for SIDS.
