Head Matter:
Linda Smith, an Infant, by Thomas J. Smith, Her Guardian ad Litem, et al., Respondents, v. Hearst Consolidated Publications, Inc., et al., Appellants.

Opinion:
In our opinion, the verdicts are grossly excessive. The award to the infant, insofar as it was based on a finding that she had sustained permanent brain damage, is against the weight of credible evidence. Nolan, P. J., Kleinfeld, Christ, Pette and Brennan, JJ., concur.
