Y2K Diary [ 23.05.00 ] 144. Baby Boom In a welter of PR exercise, the British Prime Minister successfully managed to deliver a baby through his wife Cherie, of course, on the eve of family week.  Such timing couldn't be more appropriate for a politically troubled Mr Blair. But it's true.  It's all true.  There is a baby boom in the year Y2K. With an over populated planet on the brink of explosion, it is ambiguous to commend the noble virtue of family life.  Though, when it happens and it works, it's beautiful.  One cannot help thinking about the PR exercise of some of the baby makers machine. Iman and David Bowie have announced their lovely one for August, thereby cleverly grappling the headlines. Well, why not?  I just hope that all of them know what it entails and involves.  A child is for life, not just for Christmas, not until they are beaten up and in an age to sleep rough in the streets.
