FLAT HEADS Placing infants on their backs to sleep has dramatically reduced cases of sudden infant death syndrome, but is causing a side effect: heads that are flat in the back. The condition can lead to misalignment of the ears and jaw. Fortunately, the softness of an infant's skull, which causes the problem, also makes it easy to fix. Babies should get plenty of tummy time when they are awake...
...DIED. EDDIE PARKER, 69, smooth-talking pool player whose mythic hustles and jaw-dropping trick shots inspired the iconic role played by Paul Newman in the 1961 film The Hustler; in Brownsville, Texas. "Fast Eddie," as he was widely known, lived and breathed cinematic cool: even in his later years he stalked the tables in a tuxedo, with slicked-back silver hair and a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Charlie Brown stands, sets his jaw, and kicks the radio set clear out of the room. Here was a comic strip hero, who, unlike his predecessors Li'l Abner, Dick Tracy, Joe Palooka or Beetle Bailey, could take the restrained fury of the '50s and translate it into a harbinger of '60s activism...
