Thank you for your article "Coping with Eve's Curse" [July 27]. I've suffered for ten years with menstrual pain, and let me assure you, it's not just a figment of my imagination. Ironically, some of the most unsympathetic responses I've heard have been from other women; from the high school nurse who offered me a peppermint, to the nurse at the hospital emergency room who told me that I'd just have to wait until I had my first baby.

...think they realize that each firework that goes up is money out of their pocket?" They must realize it; the press, after all, has been keeping a running tab on the celebration for weeks.

She went before the House of Commons to announce a $1.3 billion program aimed at providing more jobs and educational opportunities for the nation's 900,000 unemployed youths...
After days of crosscutting between sentiment and starkness, Frank Reynolds of ABC exactly caught television's about-to-change tone on the wedding eve by proclaiming, "It is now fairy-tale time," which would be a "respite from reality." And though the recorded voice of Vera Lynn was summoned up, singing There'll Always Be an England ("If England means as much to you/ As England means to me"), and though NBC'S John Hart took a smarmy look at Lady Di's old school to see how proper English girls got their special "edge...
