No Nonomom
The AT&T anniversary show mentioned in previous entry covered a lot of territory with no obvious logic or connection, including the Dionne Quintuplets. They were big news in 1935, so I suppose they had to be mentioned.
Led me to think about the distorted version of multiple births in recent years. Sudden realization: The trend has stopped. Octomom was the killer app. After Octomom, there was not a Nonomom or a Decimom or an Undecimom or a Duodecimom. End. Fini. No more.
Thank God.
But why? I can't imagine that publicity-seeking females voluntarily gave up the game. The competition was firmly established, with hormone-juiced multiple births every week for many years.
Did medical and pharmaceutical types quietly decide to quit providing the tools for publicity-seekers?
