...Chadds Ford, from 1948 to 1979; teenage Siri Erickson, another Cushing resident, from 1967 to 1972. The paintings of her were also withheld, until she turned 21, and their release in 1975 caused a little of the same stir that the Helgas have. Siri, now 32 and the mother of two girls, recalls no embarrassment or awe about posing nude for Wyeth when she was 13. "He would get totally involved in his work. It was as if you were a tree," she says. "He's a normal, everyday person. He does paint good, but he's just Andy...
...four children and two grandchildren. (A daughter, Carmen, figures in a few works in the Helga series.)

Since Kevin's birth May 23, McEnroe has shared in the 3 a.m. feedings and even changed diapers. "I've seen it with my own eyes," says his mother Kay. Fatherhood, McEnroe says, has "changed things for me in the sense that your priorities change and you do things differently . . . It's the best thing that's ever happened...

The discussions sometimes go on until after the baby is born, when it becomes clear, for example, that the little girl should not be called Howard. Occasionally, of course, the father's (or mother's) yearning for a son is so intense that the girl is called Howard anyway. Some nations feel obliged to intervene against such eccentricities. In France, it is illegal to give any child a name that is not already held by a saint (or a "well-known figure in ancient history"), who presumably would...
