Beginning at 6 a.m., 70 volunteers and most of the hospital staff spent 12 hours moving 320 patients--ranging in age from newborn babies to young adults--to a larger building next door to the old one on Longwood Ave., in Boston...
Well, yes, that sounds fine, but what is actually to be done? One icy morning in New York last month, the frozen bodies of two newborn babies were found in trash heaps in different parts of the city. Neither one had a name. The newspapers devoted no more than a few lines to the story...
Surgeons at Loma Linda University Medical Center in California only last October transplanted a heart into Newborn Paul Holc. What made the transplant different was that the donor, a Canadian infant known as Baby Gabriel, was born anencephalic, that is, without most of her brain. Like virtually all anencephalics, she could not have survived more than a few days outside the womb; unlike most, Gabriel died before her healthy organs deteriorated. Then, early in January, surgeons in Mexico City announced that for the first time, they had successfully grafted tissue from a miscarried fetus into the brains of two Parkinson...
Last November, Axelrod ordered medical technicians throughout the state to begin collecting samples of blood from every newborn baby for one month.

But most find plenty of fun at show biz's expense. Movies: Amazon Women on the Moon, a parody of the already camp Zsa Zsa Gabor epic Queen of Outer Space. Books: "Irving Sidney's" First Lady of the Evening, in which the President marries...
