...Pregnant moms who smoke cigarettes may be harming not only their children but their grandchildren. In a study, youngsters whose grandmothers smoked during pregnancy were more than twice as likely to get asthma as children whose grandmothers didn...
...proof in recantation cases is on those challenging the conviction, and the decision of the judge rehearing evidence is virtually never second-guessed by appeals courts. After listening to Webb, 23, explain that she made up the kidnaping and rape eight years ago because she feared she was pregnant by her boyfriend, Judge Samuels weighed her statements against what he had heard at the 1979 trial.

DIED. James Briley, 28, murderer convicted of killing a pregnant Virginia woman as well as her five-year-old son and implicated in other 1979 gang killings; by electrocution; in Richmond.

As with lead, adults can process an impressive amount of mercury before major damage is done. Not so fetuses. In 2004 the Federal Government warned pregnant women against eating more than 6 oz. of albacore tuna a week. Unfortunately, that warning came a few months after the birth of my first child--which meant...
