...What changed Zimmerman was hearing Guthrie's songs. The Dust Bowl balladeer with the scrappy social conscience touched this kid, gave him purpose and ambition. "You could listen to his songs," he says in No Direction Home, "and actually learn how to live." Pierced to the heart, Bob actually left home this time, thumbing east to a Queens, N.Y., hospital, where Guthrie lay ailing of Huntington's Disease. That pilgrimage accomplished three things.

The image of her actually confronting those unsanitary bunnies was enough...

But after I unloaded the products--most of them familiar, Donna Reed--ish brands of my youth--I first sat down to study their labels. Along with my new dust-bunny awareness, I've become hyperconscious of anything else my baby might potentially mouth or chew...
