SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, Ray and the Kinks must have gotten a little tired of the neglect, and they began cleaning up their onstage performances, and producing music more geared to the public ear. After an unsuccessful such attempt in their Sleepwalker album, the Kinks finally got back on the charts with Misfits, which contained the group's first hit in a long, long time, "Rock and Roll Fantasy." Low Budget, their next effort, gave them a secure place in the popular market, and their wildly successful One More for the Road sparked a whole new generation of fans, many...

Gerald Ford proposed some modest increases...
...despite its impact, menstrual distress rarely has stirred medical interest. Some attribute the neglect to sexist bias by a male-dominated medical Establishment. Says Family Practitioner Penny Budoff of the State University of New York at Stony Brook: "Many physicians act as if pain is women's due and getting rid of it is almost sacrilegious." A more basic reason may be that doctors have been unable to explain the link between a bewildering array of physical and psychological problems and a normal physiological event. As a result, women have been urged to cope as best they can with...
