Loving parents gloat over the baby's encouraging growth and happy gurgles as they put him to bed. He is obviously in the best of health. At the next feed ing time, they are shocked to find him dead in bed. Such "crib deaths" happen in the best-doctored countries and to the best-cared-for babies. And most can never be explained. In the U.S. alone there are 10,000 such deaths a year, and they are so baffling that 50 U.S. and British medical experts met recently at the University of Washington to try to decide what...
...slim, scholarly bachelor, Dunn has been living with music from the time he could stand up in his crib. To amuse him, his parents put a tall phonograph and a stack of symphony records within reach, and Baby Dunn would change the records. At the age of twelve, he was playing the organ at the regular services at the Third Lutheran Church in Baltimore; at 16, he was conducting the choir at the Episcopal Cathedral. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1960 as conductor of the 29-year-old choral society called the Cantata Singers, and his Philharmonic Hall...

Invented in 1944 for his daughter Debbie, Skinner's box is a combination crib-playpen that a baby can call home for as long as two years. It has Plexiglas windows, and inside, the temperature is kept at 80° or so and the humidity at 50%. The baby is free of confining clothes and "prisonlike" crib bars. He wears only a diaper, sleeps on a trampoline-like plastic mesh that drains away any leakage. The idea is to let him thrash about, play better and develop faster. Pop saves on baby clothes, and with less lifting, laundry...
Hallstein showed none of this side in his speeches last week. Instead he appealed for understanding. At Omaha's Creighton University, he complained: "Sometimes it has seemed that our Community was being torn out of its crib and being asked to shoulder the burdens of a man. Sometimes it has seemed that even our friends were being too impatient to give us time to mature...
