In a copy of "Seattle Child" last week I saw a reprint of a review from (I think) "The New Republic" of _Good_Morning,_Merry_Sunshine_. Does anybody have a copy of the review? (I was only visiting Seattle (for the slug festival, of course, but they were all frozen.)) Or know what issue it's in? The book is a one-year journal kept by a journalist of his observations of his baby daughter. It's touted on the cover and elsewhere as a giant step for fatherhood, and Irma Bombeck recommends that the author when some kind of mothership award or something. But the reviewer, a father of a small baby himself (and evidentally typing with his daughter in her snugli on his chest), is of the opinion that the author of GMMS barely looks at his daughter and furthermore has some sort of whimsical idea that mothers are genetically better at taking care of babies as evidenced by the way they just seem to sense when diapers need to be changed. At any rate, the review was pretty funny, and I'm looking to obtain a copy. Anybody got one? L S Chabot UUCP: ...decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-amber!chabot ARPA: ...chabot%amber.DEC@decwrl.ARPA
