Jo Ann Schwartz, 50, of Topsfield, Mass., was taking 18 Bufferins daily and still finding it too painful to walk upstairs. She became a subject in an Oraflex study, and "within 30 days, I could start doing things again," she says. She is now back on her bicycle and kicking up her heels in the pool. But Schwartz was one of the lucky ones. About 20% of arthritis sufferers are not helped by the new drugs. For them, the search continues...
Hinckley's well-to-do family in Colorado tried to help him but without success.

It is an act of self-denial: she must lower the pilot light of her unique intensity and convince through an effort of will and craft...
Arden and Jo might think twice about trading lunches at company expense if it will show up on their taxable income. But it would be fair beneficial to reducing the federal deficit, and helpful to the administration in getting the government out of the free lunch business and on to the economic recovery of our nation, and its real concern of encouraging capital goods, formation. When Jo's bank doesn't pay out as touch of its money for free lunches to its agents or wealthy depositors, it will have more cash to loan businesses and individuals the money...
