A New York Times articles on different medical opinions on babies 
crying/colic (with a nice plug for Dr. Karp) implied that in all 
cultures a certain number of babies will have these long, unexplained 
crying jags.  I was under the impression that in certain cultures, 
babies cry very little.  Could someone with more international 
experience comment.  Even in cultures where babies are in close contact, 
breastfeeding frequently etc., do a certain percentage of babies show 
such distressing behavior?
