...relatively simple operation is similar to arthroscopic surgery, in which damaged tissue is removed, typically from knee joints, through a hollow tube. In the diskectomy technique, a stainless-steel tube, guided by X ray, is slipped into the incision until the tip of the instrument rests against the disk. Next the surgeon threads a combination cutting-suction device the diameter of a pencil lead down the cannula, pushes it gently into the center of the disk and steps on a floor pedal. Suction draws disk material, which has the texture of crab meat, into a porthole near the probe...

...little he knew him, and how different their politics are, it is a typically Dukakis answer -- one that reveals absolutely nothing about Michael Dukakis, which is the most revealing thing about it." If anything drove Dukakis into government, it was contempt for the kind of affectionate tales Tip O'Neill tells of the Kennedys in his autobiography -- how, for instance, bribes were paid to potential supporters of Jack. But if he could use the death of Kennedy for a noble purpose, he could, clearly, use the man's life in a similar way. He tries to make everything instrumental, even...
