...echo these sentiments--women who still treasure their first, now well-worn and tattered copy of the book and can remember vividly how they first came to own it. These same women are now purchasing their commemorative 25th editions, with updated information on new areas of study such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Today, while the Women's Health Movement still faces challenges worldwide, on this anniversary of the beginning of this movement we should salute the Boston women who started the revolution...
...dossier B&W compiled about Wigand to help discredit his testimony, the whistle blower comes across as a chronic troublemaker, quick to complain if his consumer goods were lost or damaged. He also left a previous job under something of a cloud.

The report, written by director of engineering Mario Bonaca, changed nothing. "We've been working at this," says Fox, "but making fundamental change in a complex, technical...
...race shifts to the south, each candidate hopes to use a strong showing in South Carolina as a springboard to primaries in Georgia on March 5 and Florida on March 12. Dole spent much of Thursday's debate defending himself from charges by the others that he was a chronic tax raiser. Even as Alexander began to defend himself for a spot attacking Dole for supporting $320 billion in tax increases, Forbes rushed to pile on. "The ad is misleading," he said, and suggested that the actual number was closer to $1 trillion. "Don't malign my integrity here," Dole...
