The winner: Ron Rearick, 43, of Bellevue, Wash., who accepted the award and then gave his hosts a shock that flattened the champagne. He presented surprised officials with a copy...

Most of what she says is impossible to prove, but many readers may bristle at her militant tone. One highlight of this chapter is her psychoanalysis of the fertility doctors motivations for helping sterile women...
