About 20 centers now dot the nation, and experts predict the number will soar into the hundreds by the end of the year. Many are established by hospitals, either in house or as satellites; others are freestanding clinics or parts of entrepreneurial chains. Frequently they are simply overdressed gynecology practices that differ little from the past segmented service. But, says Dr. Linda Lesky of Women's Health Group in Boston, "there is no anatomic reason why women should be divided at the waist...
...cultural amnesia of a history still unwritten. There are no longer any huts, gates, guard towers, or shuffling columns of prisoners on their way to another day of killing slave labor. There are no memorials, no cemeteries dedicated to Stalin's victims. Some of the camp names that dot the pages of prisoner memoirs are ordinary towns now: Shturmovoy, Elgen, Yagodnoye, Mylga, Magadan itself. "When you go to Magadan and stand upon the Kolyma highway," a Muscovite advised, "you must look down at the earth beneath your feet and think of all the bones buried there...
...symptom boards contain more than 4,000 red dots, each denoting an alleged plaintiff ailment. Dr. Bertram W. Carnow, director of environmental medicine at the University of Illinois, spent 76 days on the witness stand -- at a fee of $3,000 a day to his Chicago health-consultancy firm -- putting the dots up as expert witness for the plaintiffs, contending the ills the dots represent could be dioxin-related.

It is a temptation no child-hungry couple could resist. They should have, though. For the McDonnoughs are soon furiously pursued by their gooney neighbors Dot and Glen (Frances McDormand and Sam McMurray) and their marauding kids, two fugitive brothers named Gale (John Goodman) and Evelle (William Forsythe), and a bounty hunter (Randall (("Tex")) Cobb) who roars out of Hi's dreams as the Lone Biker of the Apocalypse. Poor Hi and Ed. Raising Nathan Arizona...
...body to nonstop work. Harnessing the energy of some Rube Goldberg perpetual-motion machine, prancing on those fine filly legs like the winner of the strumpet's marathon, Bette uses her body as an inexhaustible source of sight gags. She shimmies it, twists it, upends it to reveal polka-dot bloomers. In 1978 at the London Palladium she flashed the front of it; at Harvard she exposed the rear. She has made a cottage industry of her buxom bosom. In the 1985 album Mud Will Be Flung Tonight, she confesses that she once consulted a postage scale to determine just...
