OFFICE BABIES

Francine and AngelaFrancine Gemperle and Angela Hewey

Many working moms face a dilemma when their newborn arrives: take leave from work or arrange for daycare. But there's a new option. More and more parents are bringing their babies to work with them.

BRUSHES WITH FAME: Dave Brubeck

Mike RosenMichael Rosen

When the Dave Brubeck Quartet was at the height of its popularity, 16-year-old Michael Rosen's parents wouldn't lend him the car. But Michael was determined to see his idol play, and he walked 10 miles to get to the club - when he wasn't even of legal age. Inside the club, he met Dave Brubeck who ended up paying for Michael's Cokes. Michael tells Dick about how his meeting with the jazz great altered the course of his life.
