...nearly the speed of sound. For a moment, the plane seemed to catch itself and climbed upward for more than a mile before peeling into a final fatal dive. At 10,000 ft., radar records suggest that the plane broke apart, sprinkling shards of the 767 and its human cargo into the waters off the Massachusetts coast. The wild ride lasted less than two minutes and left behind a slew of puzzling questions. Was the crew alive during those final moments?

To be sure, the researchers--sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development--studied 1,300 children from birth to age three, in every child-rearing situation, and concluded that the mother-child relationship often takes a hit when babies are cared for by someone other than Mom. But it's important to note that this concern relates mainly to the child's first year, and especially the first four months. Placing babies in child care during this period...
