...general, bicyclists seem to treat stoplights the way drivers do at 3:30 on a Wednesday morning, observing their warning is considered entirely optional. The standard practice is to slow slightly before the intersection, look quickly, and then zip across. Usually it isn't a big deal but like anything else it leads to bad habits and the problems arise when bicyclists begin challenging drivers, in the same way pedestrians do when crossing the Square.

A number of other nonnarcotic drugs have proved useful in treating specific kinds of pain. Migraine Sufferer Elaine Anderson, 31, of San Francisco had tried everything from strong doses of codeine to psychic counseling to relieve pain "that felt like someone was tightening my head in a vise." She finally found relief with calcium channel blockers, originally developed for heart patients. Antidepressive drugs like the tricyclics are frequently recommended for shingles and chronic lower-back pain...
