Apgar's 1953 paper is displayed below.  Scroll down to the third paragraph,
where it is stated that infants may become apneic for many minutes after the first
breath, and that a satisfactory cry is sometimes not established even when the
infant leaves the delivery room
!  We need to ask why the umbilical cord should
ever be cut before a satisfactory cry is established.
