She deals with lung damage from such new chemicals as tolylene diisocyanate, widely used in foam rubber products; nerve diseases caused by various new solvents used in the printing industry; damage...

They have rediscovered some old fads-panty raids at the University of Michigan and the twist at Houston's Rice University-and some other fancies as well.
