Even before Louise Brown arrived, the London tabloids called her "Our Miracle Baby," and critics muttered words like Frankenstein. The world's first test-tube baby, she was born at 13 minutes to midnight--a 5-lb. 12-oz. bundle of squealing ethical questions and implications for the future of the species. After hundreds of tries, Lesley Brown's doctors found the secret to creating a baby outside the womb: having fertilized her egg in vitro, or in a Petri dish, they implanted the embryo after only 2 1/2 days rather than waiting for five and were rewarded with their...
SONY CLIE NZ90 Weighing in at 10 oz., this hefty handheld, which runs on the Palm operating system, is not for neophytes. But its high-end features are tough to resist. It is the only PDA with a 2-megapixel digital camera built in (with flash and zoom!). The large swivel screen displays 65,000 colors--great for running miniature slide shows on the go.

You reach Neverland by exiting through the window. In the film version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy has to open a door in order to reach Oz. Mary Lennox turns a key, pushes a gate and enters the secret garden. What Fred Rogers offered was probably the obverse of this threshold experience. Instead of feeling Mary Lennox’s excitement, Dorothy’s astonishment...
...grape. A minuscule balloon was then inflated to enlarge the constricted valve, which had been obstructing the flow of blood to the body. Eleven weeks later, doctors induced early labor, anticipating the need for another operation, but the repair job had worked so well that the 5-lb. 8-oz. healthy baby boy didn't require a second procedure...
