Peering deep into the womb of a pregnant woman, doctors have succeeded in exploring and filming-at a remarkably early stage of development-the secret world of the living human embryo. The results of their efforts are the dramatic highlight of an hour-long CBS television special, The Miracle Months, which will be broadcast on March 16 at 8 p.m. E.S.T. Written by Physician-Author Robert E. Fuisz, Miracle Months is a moving, prime-time tribute to recent spectacular progress in prenatal care-advances that enable doctors to salvage many pregnancies for which there was once little or no hope...

...unofficial weight man's relay race proved to be the highlight of the afternoon. This event, somewhat like limiting the Indy 500 to Panzer tanks, pitted the behemoths of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton in a sprint relay. "It was the highlight of the meet. The only problem was with the staggered start. We could not tell where to start or how we did because our guys took up three lanes," McCurdy said with tongue-in-cheek...
