Bracelets and Diets. Contrary to popular notions, arthritis-which afflicts millions of Americans-is not a single disease, but a collection of ailments characterized by a common irritation of the joints. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, some doctors suspect malfunctions of the immune system, perhaps triggered by viruses. Indeed, in recent years, researchers have linked at least four different kinds of arthritis in Africa, Asia and Australia to viruses apparently transmitted by mosquitoes.

In 1973 the Japanese did raise official prices of TV sets sold in the U.S. Right after that, the kickbacks supposedly began...
