While "on the pills" only 16 out of 838 women in four study areas became pregnant and all 16 had skipped their pills occasionally.

But when she considers the alternative-if Jack had lost the election-she surveys her fingernails as if ready to bite them, and admits that there are worse prospects than the White House.
