Last week he got it-fried, "over easy." Far from wealthy (her husband is a journeyman plumber), Mrs. Culpepper had gambled $1,000 in legal expenses and $2,000 in medical bills to give the boy a chance for normal life. "My husband and I decided we'd rather have him than anything else." she explained, "so we just sacrificed." The sight of a healthy-looking Phillip (he will be three on Dec. 28), eating...
