...many as 10 million viewers tune in each Friday evening to public television's Wall Street Week. In one regular segment of the show, Host Louis Rukeyser queries expert guests for stock tips. As it turns out, those analysts may have an unwitting knack for touting losers. According to a study released by Market Logic, a Fort Lauderdale newsletter, the 261 stocks picked by guests between late April 1983 and July 1984 fell by 8.4%, compared with a 5.7% drop for the market as a whole...
This view has taken strong hold among a significant segment of women religious, who are in the vanguard of the drive for fuller rights for women. American women religious have changed greatly since they began shedding their wimples and bibs and emerged from the convents into the streets.

...night of May 17, 1983, is driving from a restaurant toward his home in Dumont, N.J. The next morning Labollita found himself in a hospital in nearby Englewood. He had fallen asleep at the wheel, flipped his car and, in the resulting crash, knocked out a 4-in. segment of his upper arm bone, the humerus. The lower part of his arm dangled precariously from torn muscle and tendons. Labollita, now 27, recalls, "When I came to, they had already performed emergency surgery to remove the remaining pieces of bone." There was no hope of mending the shattered segment...
