...Maria Cuervo de Prieto, 35, chose their first birthday to announce that still another brother or sister was on the way. But sibling rivalry is just one of those things that Venezuela's Prieto Quintuplets will have to learn to live with. In point of fact, they live rather well-thanks to Big Daddy Creole Petroleum Corp., for which Papacito Efrén Lubín Prieto, 39, works as a $10-a-day oilfield hand. Creole built for the family a $30,000 five-bedroom house in Maracaibo, also provides free medical care, while advertising contracts with Gerber...
Prescott, Ariz., nestles in a mile-high bowl amid the pine-covered knobs of the Bradshaw and San Prieto mountains. It was there that Grandfather "Big Mike" Goldwater, the Jewish peddler, settled in 1875, laid the foundation of a prosperous family merchandising business.

Out of Efrén Lubín's earnings of $10 a day, he supports 18 people, including ten children from his previous families and four from...
...medical history, and of those, only two sets survived infancy: the Dionne sisters of Canada, born in 1934, and the Diligenti quints of Argentina, born in 1943. All five Diligentis are still alive, but one of the Dionnes, Emily, died in 1954. Like all other "preemies," the Fischer and Prieto quints could be prone to respiratory troubles, nutritional difficulties and general infection. The odds may be against both sets, but last week odds did not seem to mean much...
