101st Airborne Division's Baby BoomThe military hospital at Fort Campbell, Ky., expects to deliver 210 babies a month soon, nearly twice the usual number of deliveries, and more are expected at other nearby hospitals in Tennessee and Kentucky. A temporary increase in births is not uncommon after soldiers return, but the boom this year is the biggest the post has seen in decades. The chief of women's health at the hospital estimates that by the end of the year, they will have delivered 2,300 babies, compared to 1,352 last year.
