...injury was a ticket to freedom. But the price-paralysis from the waist down -came high, and Bogard sued three former prison officials, a prison guard and three inmates, charging negligence, cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of due process. In October, a six-woman jury in Greenville, Miss., awarded $500,000 to Bogard, 26, who now lives on welfare with his mother in Illinois.

With their eyes riveted on her erogenous promontories, her fans usually miss the fact that her songs of passion are leavened with feminine pride and anxiety. Women's music sells. Ronstadt's Heart Like a Wheel album sold over 150,000 units for Capitol Records in its first month of release. Muldaur's first solo album on Reprise sold 750,000 copies...
