     INT.  HOSPITAL NURSERY - NIGHT



BABIES in bassinets, isolettes, incubators.  BABIES sleeping,

BABIES blinking, BABIES cooing, BABIES chirping, BABIES

squalling.
It's the SQUALLING BABIES, the ones with pinched faces and tiny

bunched fists, that seem to interest the TWO ANONYMOUS MEN in

Military Uniforms.  (Their anonymity is assured by the angles

from which they are seen; they are hands, they are feet, they are

the backs of heads.)
A lone NURSE watches them grimly as they make their "selections,"

marking the cribs of the most active, noisy BABIES with X's.
