          Norman and Rita Harrington are awarded temporary custody of 
          Kelly. 
        
WA:       Norman Harrington and his wife Rita have had overnight 
          custody of Jill Smith's baby pending a full hearing this 
          morning.  Norman knows that the court could assign the baby to 
          a foster home.  But he is an optimist.  And at the moment he is 
          working hard on the thought that the court must let Jill retain 
          custody.  For both Norman and Rita, their night of custody, 
          passed in what seemed like a matter of seconds.

          just ironed.  He wants to wear the one that he has on.  She 
          wants him to look good, responsible.  Norman obliges Rita and

               her own trouble and enjoys every minute of it? 
          NH:  Why don't you give her a break?  Why don't you just get 
               out of her life?
