Britain's bonny Prince Andrew, 6, last week took delivery on a little number from Aston-Martin. It does 6 m.p.h. flat out and can stop on a lollipop.

The best the A.M.A. can suggest is that nurses and mothers be instructed in how to insert a thermometer correctly, and told never to leave a child or a debilitated patient alone with the thermometer in place...
