...Channel is the city's biggest, and least accessible, club, located on the edge of South Boston, just over the channel from South Station. Though many bands that would play there go to the Cape in the summer, The Channel still offers some big name bands close-up. Popular reggae band Steel Pulse plays there Tuesday, New York poet-punk-heroin addict Jim Carroll on Thursday, Ministry on June 30, poppy ska band Bad Manners July 14, and the inevitable milking of the success of rock parody. This is Spinal Tap. The band will-play. The Channel July...

Migraine Sufferer Elaine Anderson, 31, of San Francisco had tried everything from strong doses of codeine to psychic counseling to relieve pain "that felt like someone was tightening my head in a vise." She finally found relief with calcium channel blockers, originally developed for heart patients. Antidepressive drugs like the tricyclics are frequently recommended for shingles and chronic lower-back pain. Antiseizure medications like Dilantin, commonly used to treat epilepsy, can help calm the spasmlike facial pain of trigeminal neuralgia...
