...correct that kind of example and avoid injury is strict rules, strictly enforced. New rules for high school football in Pennsylvania call for automatic ejection for spearing, but coaches and players say referees either rarely see spearing or else fail to enforce the rule. Other ways to reduce physical damage at Pleasant Valley, thanks largely to Verbruggen, involve careful medical checkups and new and better ways of conditioning. "We don't even do traditional calisthenics any more," says Head Coach Tony Caracio. "One of the drills-walking 20 yds. on the inside of your feet, then...

Ehrenreich and English contend that both of these theories fail to provide a viable role for women. This failure resulted in a cult of professionalism; women became dependent on experts who could explain why they felt unfulfilled...
What this and all social security-integrated pension plans fail to take into consideration is the continuing high level of inflation. Dianne Bennett, former attorney advisor with the office of tax legislative counsel at the Treasury Department, suggests that this is the main argument against any type of integrated plan. She says even if social security were subtracted from 100 per cent of the pre-retirement average high wage base, inflation would still discriminate against the integrated plan recipient...
