Madden required no further illustration of how fragile the pro player truly is, but in 1978, his final season, he absorbed a terrible one. In an exhibition game at Oakland, Safety Jack Tatum, the Raiders' most notorious hitter, collided with New England Receiver Darryl Stingley, leaving Stingley permanently paralyzed. Madden donned a surgical smock to stay with Stingley in the hospital that night and opened his home to the injured man's family. But, with a shrug, Madden minimizes the accident's part in his decision to quit coaching. He prefers to repeat a wistful anecdote about how he thought...
When Cheryl Tatum, a cashier at a Hyatt hotel in Crystal City, Va., braided her hair into cornrows last year, she received nothing but compliments from customers. She received something else from her boss: notice that she was not complying with hotel policy against "extreme and unusual hairstyles." After being dismissed, Tatum filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, thus marking what may be the first discrimination case based on hair. Tatum has since enlisted the aid of Jesse Jackson, who has promised not to stay in the chain's hotels during his presidential campaign unless the dispute...
...wild rhythm that seemed to play out like an entire band. His right hand was like an antenna, pulling in melodies from the Delta blues, from Caribbean calypso, from rock and pop and jazz and anywhere else his ear chanced to roam.

"No matter what is written in the curriculum, there is not much going on out there," says Mary Lee Tatum, a sex-education consultant. "Under 15% of U.S. children get really good sex education. We are only beginning to institute adequate programs...
...says Richard Lincoln of New York City's Alan Guttmacher Institute. "We're moving backwards." Reason for the retreat: consumers' health worries and manufacturers' concerns about spiraling liability claims. Last January the IUD was nearly eliminated from the American market when G.D. Searle discontinued the Copper-7 and the Tatum-T. Defending just four Copper-7 liability suits cost the firm $1.5 million in legal fees, even though it won the cases. Sales of the Copper-7 amounted to only $11 million in 1985. A.H. Robins, the marketer of the Dalkon Shield, fared worse. After 9,450 lawsuits that cost...
