MISUNDERSTOOD TOTS A new study finds that most parents believe six-month-old infants can be spoiled if you pick them up too often (they can't), and that a 15-month-old is mature enough to share toys (wrong again). Unrealistic expectations can cause stress for both parents and children and may be responsible for the growing number of tots who are overly aggressive and easily frustrated...
Hong Kong tycoon Richard Li seemed to be walking on air last March when he used his 10-month-old start-up, Pacific Century CyberWorks, to acquire the territory's dominant telecommunications company, Cable & Wireless HKT. The $35.9 billion merger was the largest in Asia outside Japan. Analysts fell over one another to issue buy recommendations on CyberWorks' stock, which they predicted would soar into the stratosphere. Whoops! Put a hold on that order. Six months later, analysts say the new firm's strategy of linking broadband Internet services to an Old World telco is no longer so compelling...
...Eight men eventually wrestled the 6-ft., 190-lb. Burton to the floor. "It is over," a man told him, yelling obscenities. "You are not getting up." But the mob may have got carried away.

...grizzlies, the first I have ever seen in the wild. Four-year-olds, they hang out and fool around, rather like human teenagers.

The mothers nurse the 18-month-old cubs and scoop up some of the hundreds of thousands of salmon on their way up the inlet to spawn and die. Then another bear appears, followed by tiny triplets. This excites my guide, Owen Nevin, a Utah State University doctoral student whose subject is inlet bears, even more...
There are few challenges the animal families of Africa or the Amazon face that the Banzer family of Houston, wouldn't understand. Stephanie Banzer, 31, is a marketing manager for Compaq Computers as well as the mother of 19-month-old Matthew. When Stephanie gave birth, she and her husband knew they would need her income to keep the household running. Full-time mothering was thus not an option--and full-time baby-sitters were too expensive. Instead, she turned to a team of child-care providers she knew could do the job: her mother and two aunts. The three...
