Blair Gensamer, a former vice president of marketing and strategy at Nestle S.A., created Smilk (that's "smile" plus "milk"), a nonfat milk in seven fruit flavors targeted at school-age kids. An 8-oz. serving of Grinnin' Grape or VeryVery Strawberry offers the nutritional benefits of regular milk and no fat. The downside: 24 g of sugar, on par with a can of soda. Introduced this summer, Smilk is being sold by 300 Wal-Mart superstores as well as in schools in several districts in Michigan. Says Gensamer: "This could be a billion-dollar business."

Then U.S. Robotics introduced its Pilot, the first palmtop to cram addresses and a daily calendar into a simple, 5-oz. electronic tablet. With a penlike stylus, users can jot down notes on the screen and transfer them to a desktop PC program like Lotus Organizer. ($249; Palm Computing...
Cheyenne Pyle became famous last week, and the best part is that she'll never remember a bit of it. Early Sunday the 7-lb. 8-oz. girl was born at the University of Miami-Jackson Children's Hospital. Ninety minutes later, she was undergoing surgery to replace her underdeveloped heart, an operation that restored her to health and made her the world's youngest heart recipient...
