...most innovative musical toy at the Toy Fair this year is Neurosmith's Musini ($69.99, ages 3 and older, due out in September). Musini is built around a motion sensor that picks up vibrations from the surrounding room. Put it on the floor, and when a toddler stamps a foot or knocks on a wall, Musini composes music on the fly in time with the kid's movements. The room itself becomes a musical instrument, one that never plays the same song twice. Note: Musini is not compatible with Hummel figurine collections...
...York City, brightness is almost everything. I was oohing and aahing over a toddler's flawless German and English chatter in the park the other day and the mother shook her head. "No one's really impressed in this town unless the kid's at least trilingual," she said. One of the reputedly best schools in the city requires its three-year-old applicants to take a Stanford-Binet intelligence test. Since the school is also free, there's a lot of competition to get in. Only children who score in the 98th or 99th percentile are considered. We duly...
KIRA KERKORIAN may live like royalty, but she is not without a social conscience. According to her mother, LISA BONDER KERKORIAN, Kira donates $7,000 a month to charity.

Such details about the juvenile jet set were revealed in court documents filed in Los Angeles, where Lisa, a former tennis pro, is petitioning ex-husband KIRK KERKORIAN to increase Kira's child-support...
...can’t feel pain, admittedly—but if you give me enough drugs, neither can I. Do we excuse a murderer who first administers a merciful dose of morphine? An embryo can’t survive on its own, doubtless—but neither can a toddler or an elderly invalid. Are they fair game for scientific research? An embryo is assuredly incapable of reason—but so is any newborn. Do we countenance infanticide...
...Surely one of the greatest humanitarian efforts of the U.S. government was providing, free of charge, the little sugar cube that contained the Sabin oral immunization for polio. I remember going with my family to the local school auditorium and waiting our turn. My daughter was not even a toddler then, but old enough to enjoy that lump of sugar. What a blessing it was! Now we are confronted with a danger greater than polio, frightening because we don't even know what form it may come in. The government should launch an all-out campaign to develop vaccines...
