...chronic shoulder pain in adult Americans. I find them and other shoulder problems fascinating; this strangely tendon-wrapped joint has kept my professional interest level amazingly high for the 22 years that I've been doing orthopedics.

They're one of higher education's best-kept secrets--and a bargain compared with four-year colleges. GEORGIA R. GRANT COLLEGE OF SAN MATEO San Mateo, Calif...
