There is an article on colic in the Oct. American Baby magazine. Many suggestions are the same as we have discussed. However, it also suggests that if nothing else works, you put the baby to bed alone for increasing periods of time until he learns to comfort himself. Also quotes a pediatrician as saying, "Try to remember that baby's not really hurting." (Now how do you suppose she knows whether or not your baby is hurting?!) One suggestion I don't think anyone mentioned was for friends and family to give mom a break at least once a day by comforting the baby for her while she does something relaxing.
