...there is always the chance of vegetarian theory gone madly wrong in practice. A Queens, N.Y., couple were indicted last May for first-degree assault, charged with nearly starving their toddler to death on a strict diet of juices, ground nuts, herbal tea, beans, flaxseed and cod-liver oils. At 16 months, the girl weighed 10 lbs., less than half the normal weight of a child her age. Their lawyer's defense: "They felt that they have their own lifestyle. They're vegetarians." The couple declined to plea-bargain, and are still in jail awaiting trial...
...London-based HIT Entertainment, one of the world's leading children's-TV studios, is expanding his kingdom of toddler favorites.

References in Bush's speeches to waitresses, Afghan women and Palestinian and Israeli mothers all bear her mark. She has successfully pushed to moderate the President's image, if not his policies, on health care (persuading him to embrace HMO legislation) and the environment, after his rejection of tough arsenic standards and a treaty on global warming. When piecemeal statements on the Middle...
...didn't know the world that my friends with normal--or, as we call them, typically developing--kids live in until recently. Two and a half years ago, my husband and I adopted our second child, Joey.
