Medical researchers are finding valuable diagnostic clues in what would seem to be an unlikely place-the hollow of an infant's hand. Certain abnormalities in palm lines and fingerprint patterns can alert pediatric cardiologists to the existence of inborn heart defects, including those that develop in the womb, perhaps from a maternal infection such as rubella. Other aberrant patterns may indicate to specialists in the science of dermatoglyphics (literally, "skin carvings") the presence of Down's syndrome (mongolism) and other chromosomal disorders.

She can wear a slightly vulgar dress since she exhales good family through every pore of her body." For Designer Leo Narducci, it is not so much a specific size or class of woman who can wear his clothes as it is a certain type, one who "is sure of herself, who thinks of sex more openly. If a guy isn't agreeable to her, she'll find someone else...
