The death rate from influenza rose markedly in the 1990’s, federal scientists reported. The explanation, they said, is that a greater proportion of the population is elderly and thus particularly susceptible to flu. There was an average of 36,000 flu deaths a year in the 1990’s as compared to 20,000 a year in previous decades, the investigators, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Our firstborn, Robert, was nine-month-old when a girlfriend mentioned that her month-old daughter was regularly sleeping through the night. I was overcome with bitter envy, for it was a feat our son had yet to do. Finally, at twelve months, he slept an entire night. I was elated, believing we’d finally overcome that particular hurdle. Unfortunately, it was the only complete night’s sleep we would enjoy for the next four years.
Three pediatricians insisted Robert’s problem was not unusual, and that he would eventually grow out of it. He had no problem going to sleep. In fact, at bedtime he never resisted, and drifted off to dreamland with relative ease. Yet, within an hour after my hu
