...hundred years ago most 16 year-olds were too immature even to consider a full-time job or marriage. Now they are physiologically almost ready for these responsibilities, but are still stuck in the high schools they have outgrown. No wonder they listen to Motley Crue. Our educational system has become perversely destructive; that which was designed to foster growth is stunting it instead...
...gone too far. "The music industry is cashing in on shock value, and parents have said, 'That's it--no further,' " says Ann Kahn, president of the NPTA. It is not only the W.A.S.P. who stand accused. It seems as though everyone is coming down on Judas Priest, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Twisted Sister and other metal machines. Madonna is being scrutinized. So is Sheena Easton, singing about her "sugar walls," and Sheila E., strutting her stuff. And Prince, going on about a girl masturbating with a magazine. And Michael Jackson...
...August 5 and 6. If you can't get tickets to the Centrum shows, head down to Rhode Island's Providence Civic Center. Tina Turner plays Providence on July 25 and Foreigner on July 27.

...cordotomy-literally, cutting the spinal cord-a remedy that is less drastic than it sounds. In the standard operation, the cord is exposed and a small cut is made in the nerve bundles controlling the pain-afflicted area. The so-called cut may actually be a tiny electrical burn.

Other neurosurgical procedures involve cutting the roots of nerves at the spine to relieve cancer pain in the lower...
Many neurosurgeons would stay the knife if they could, and are joining with pharmacologists to develop better ways of relieving pain with drugs. As many as 65% of tic douloureux victims can be treated effectively, says Crue, with drugs originally designed to control epileptic seizures. For the relief of severe pain of virtually every kind, morphine and its synthetic analogues remain the most potent drugs known,* but all are highly addicting and need to be taken in stepped-up doses to maintain a constant level of analgesia. Supposedly nonaddicting substitutes are exultantly reported almost every year by research chemists...
