Steve approaches an unmarked door and begins typing his secret code on the keypad. He enters the lobby and is greeted by an older woman seated behind a desk.

Chicco, meanwhile, has developed a bilingual videophone for tots 18 months and older. When a child flips a switch on the keypad, objects (a duck, a tree) appear on the screen, and a voice, speaking in Spanish and English over a cordless handset, identifies what's on display. Price $40 each Available Fall...
