DECtalk was to appear on the Jan 24 Today Show in the context of
helping handicapped children to communicate.

Discussion of liquidifying kids (!= (liquifying || liquidating) them) -
actually about liquid diets &c.

Considerable discussion on advanced programs in conventional schools:
features, benefits, HAZARDS, political motivations & class
discrimination, advanced programs vs. skipping a year, and so on.

Child molestation: incest, trauma, etc.

Montessori Education: the good and the ugly (two different, competing
organizations using the name Montessori: caveat emptor).

Inquiry on home teaching; followup refers to current Mother Earth News
article on this topic.

Prenatal kicking vs postnatal wakefulness, sleep cycles, etc.

Inquiry and several articles on snugli(tm?) and other brands and styles
of baby carriers; both pro and con.

Numerous articles on last names for kids: hyphenation, multiple names,
creative new names, etc. No real concensus, other than:  discuss it
between you and your spouse, decide what's best for you & your kids.
