Hospitals Ditch Formula Samples to Promote Breast-Feeding
By PAM BELLUCK
Health authorities
and breast-feeding advocates are urging hospitals to stop handing out
samples of formula, saying they can undermine the resolve to

Christmas magic at Abracadabra Child Care
As Christmas approached when my daughter was 4, she had one wish. Okay, she wanted a bunch of toys. But beyond that, she really, really, really wanted to play Mary in the annual Christmas pageant at her preschool.

WORD HISTORY "Abracadabra," says the magician, unaware that at one time the thing to do with the word was wear it, not say it. Abracadabra
was a magic word, the letters of which were arranged in an inverted
pyramid and worn as an amulet around the neck to protect the wearer
against disease or trouble. One fewer letter appeared in each line of
the pyramid, until only a remained to form the vertex of the
triangle. As the letters disappeared, so supposedly did the disease or
trouble. While magicians still use abracadabra in their performances, the word itself has acquired another sense, "foolish or unintelligible talk."
