When Erik Soderstrom, a seventh-grader at Inman Middle School in Atlanta, did his back-to-school shopping last month, there were three sartorial imperatives on his list: a pair of black baggy jeans, all-white sneakers and Nike wristbands. "I wear them around my wrists for sports," says the basketball-and football-loving 13-year-old. "But during the school day I wear them close to my elbow...
Physicians who participated in clinical tests of more than 2,000 women conducted in the U.S. and six foreign countries during the past four years report that the sponge drew few complaints from users. Says Dr. Richard Soderstrom, a partner in the Mason Clinic in Seattle who is also a member of the FDA panel on toxic shock: "There are no systemic side effects, and no risk of infection...
Testing specifically addressed the risk of toxic shock, since some research indicates that barrier devices like the diaphragm may encourage the development of the bacteria believed to cause the deadly illness; Soderstrom reports that the spermicide in the sponge seems to kill the bacteria.

...performance of the new production, Boulez turned Pelleas into a musical affirmation by treating the drama not as a fairy tale but a human story. Thus he brought passion and pain to a work that all too often seems pale. In the famous scene where Melisande (Soprano Elisabeth Soderstrom) looses her hair over the ardent Pelleas (Tenor George Shirley), Boulez whipped the music to a Tristan-like sexual intensity. Then, at the entrance of Melisande's jealous husband Golaud (Baritone Donald McIntyre), he cut through the sensuality with harsh, jabbing chords, tightening the singing until it strained with barely...
