...Allen and others, however, is that--if the testimonials in Weil's books are to be believed--many people who try these treatments do get better. A mainstream gynecologist may not be able to explain why raspberry and nettles could help cure endometriosis, and a traditional neurologist may be stumped at how breathing exercises could dramatically relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. But the fact remains that in a number of cases these treatments appear to work. For many in mainstream medicine, of course, such a cause-and-effect disconnect sounds like nothing more than an elaborate placebo effect...
...medical case histories. Some of them have the adrenaline-charged force of a Grisham page turner. In his opening chapter, Nuland writes of Margaret Hansen, 42, who was rushed to the emergency room of St. Raphael's hospital in New Haven, Conn., for treatment of what the resident gynecologist thought was a ruptured tubal pregnancy. An abdominal incision that spattered the operating room with Hansen's blood proved him wrong. By chance, Nuland was checking on two patients at St. Raphael's when the loudspeaker crackled an urgent plea--"part outcry for help and part call to arms...
...credited with pioneering talk-show subjects on the order of mother-daughter stripper teams, the real reason for his success was his fierce ability to empathize with women viewers.

Apparently they did. Nevertheless, Donahue's brand of me-too feminism has fallen out of favor, though he will leave behind an important legacy in Washington. Not only did Bill Clinton...

(Legal elective abortions are all but impossible to obtain after 24 weeks.) The court returned Mary to her parents on the condition that she not have an abortion, even though it was a moot point. In the Smiths' view, however, the fact that Mary's pregnancy was too far along for an abortion does not erase their basic complaints about the authorities' treatment...
Foster's allies were livid and rushed back to the chamber. Though the Tennessee obstetrician and gynecologist had acknowledged performing 39 abortions during his 38-year career, no one had accused him of doing or even of condoning the grisly procedure described by Smith. "It's outrageous to bring something like that on the Senate floor," Illinois Democrat Carol Moseley-Braun complained...
