BIRTHS
Bringing Out Baby
</hdr>
<body>
<p> Plenty of would-be stars spend years angling for--and just
missing--a national television appearance. For Myra Kristine
Palmer, a near-miss with TV fame came very early in life. In
fact, she had just been born.
</p>
<p> It happened at the Covenant Birthing Center in Anaheim,
Calif., where obstetrician Charles Wesley Turner Jr. used
forceps to hasten Myra's debut. Moments after her birth at 15
seconds past midnight on Jan. 1, Turner hustled the 6-lb.
12-oz. baby to the Melodyland Christian Center 150 ft. away,
where the nationally televised Praise the Lord program was
being filmed. Turner may have hoped to display Myra as one of
1990's first babies. Alas, the lights and cameras had been
turned off at midnight. Although Turner says the baby was in no
danger from his Hollywood-style obstetrics, the California
Board of Medical Quality Assurance is investigating.
