Beginning on April 1, 1972, and over the next full year, slightly more than 1,100 babies were born at a single hospital in Dunedin, New Zealand, a city comparable in size to New Haven, Conn. Today, deep into middle age, these same individuals have lived varied lives, and, in many cases, landed far from Dunedin. A sizable number, 166, were living in Australia as of 2019, while 26 were in the U.K., 10 in the U.S., 4 in Canada and another 20 or so scattered across Africa, continental Europe, the Middle East and South America.
