...December, the hero is no longer a polo-playing Yale grad but a New York Jets quarterback. His girl, Dale Arden, has become a working woman-a travel agent. And the hand-cranked special effects of Buster Crabbe's day have given way to Star Wars technics. Arch enemy Ming the Merciless hasn't changed a bit. Still "a mixture of Mephisto and Rasputin," says Max von Sydow, who portrays him. "I haven't had such fun since I played a monster who ate children at a Stockholm children's theater...

In the normal, healthy back, the facets of one vertebra line up precisely with those of adjoining vertebrae, creating smoothly functioning facet joints. But sometimes a facet dislocates; all it may take is a sudden twist or bend. The bone may begin to press on the tiny nerves that run to it from the spinal cord. Like a herniated disc, facet-joint syndrome can be accompanied by severe pain...
