The electrocardiogram was taken by happenstance: the hospital was making a study of heart action in prematures, and this baby seemed to have been about a month premature. The startling ECG finding alerted the doctors to the possibility of serious illness. When the baby turned blue, they gave oxygen...

...Virgin Mary herself is no cool, pale fresco by Fra Angelico-blue rings encircle her eyes in her "dark, wheat-colored skin," and she is miserable about her son Jesus' brooding and preaching: "God sent me but one boy, and he a blemished one." She wants him to be a man "like everyone else . . . Let him marry a nice young girl from a respectable home-with a dowry; let him be a liberal provider, have children, and then we'll all go out together every Saturday to the promenade-grandma, children and grandchildren-so that everyone can admire...
