...what if we study music at a very young age? If we are born with perfect pitch, could that help us keep it? Should we be offering lessons in infant cello or pint-size French horn? Dr. Kyle Pruett, who is a professor at the Child Study Center at Yale, a musician and the father of a nine-month-old, told me that even if we are born with perfect pitch, there is still no research showing that we can do anything to retain it. Formal musical training that comes too early can frustrate parents and "won't make much...
...more feminine than I expected. It's a zippy little laptop, but the rubberized blueberry-and-white clamshell design looks like something Barbie would use. I'm still willing to consider that experiment as soon as Apple makes a wireless machine that looks good next to a pint of Guinness...

For pint-sized Yankees fans in the late '70s (or the late '90s, the '60s, '50s, '40s, '30s or '20s) the Yankees were an introduction to all of the greatest things in life - heroes, triumph, unconditional love. And, perhaps above all, they were a chance to feel invincible. Our seats were about 20 rows behind home plate, a perfect vantage point to see the giants of October. Reggie Jackson hitting the ball into the stratosphere. Goose...
