...their way to winning big in freestyle wrestling, the U.S. athletes grappled as much with controversy as they did with rival matmen. The 180-lb. contender Mark Schultz lost an early match because he used an illegal armlock that broke a Turkish opponent's elbow. Capping it all, a letter from a top U.S. wrestling official was sent to Coach Dan Gable asking him to resign once the Olympics are over. Reason: Gable, a gold medalist in the 1972 Games, had taken sides with one of two wrestlers in a court dispute over which athlete had legally made...
...technique, popularized in the U.S. in the 1970s after a Japanese surgeon perfected the arthroscope, is increasingly being used for repairs to the shoulder and elbow. But the fact that arthroscopy now accounts for 90% of all knee surgery in the U.S. is proof of its major application. Dr. James Nicholas, director of the Lenox Hill Institute of Sports Medicine in New York, calls the knee the body's most vulnerable joint, "the most complicated and the least suited to perform what it is asked to do." Ligaments joining the femur and tibia wrap around the knee to keep...
Schwartz shamelessly takes ideas from friends' experiences. Says the writer: "It's easier to find new friends "than new columns." She also digs a working woman's elbow into dippy socialites and celebrity puritans like Diet Doctor Nathan Pritikin, whom she took to a Dallas taco joint. While he showed her how to eat healthily even there, she thought ravenously of "guilty nachos."

I was there last week...

Both feature an awesome array of candy and fruit toppings, which can be sprinkled on top or mixed into the ice cream (slightly higher charge for mix-ins--they use lots of elbow grease.) Very serious hot fudge, and the prices (about $2for a large Scoop with Reese's) reflect the extremity of this permanent fad. Emack and Bolio's (1310 Mass, Ave., 1726 Mass, Ave.): the legend has it that the place was named after two burns, but the ice cream here...
Thelma Beauregard is a gray-haired, pleasant-faced woman of 67, who awoke one night four years ago at her home in Plymouth, Mass., with tingling and burning sensations running from her left elbow to her hand and down into her fingers. From then on, the slightest touch triggered sharp pain. Tests showed that Beauregard 's ulnar nerve had been damaged at her left elbow. Her right elbow showed the same damage, although for some unknown reason she felt pain only on the left side. She has had three operations on the recalcitrant nerve, but at most these provided...
