...Haynes), 61, of the Uni versity of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Heyns, seeking means of relaxing and stretching abdominal muscles during labor to reduce the pain of childbirth, hit upon the notion that a reduction of atmospheric pressure outside the abdomen might help. According to him, a woman's uterus pushes forward and changes shape from oval to nearly spherical during labor contractions. But often, he explains, the muscles of the abdominal wall interfere with this transformation, causing pain and prolonging birth...
Broadening the Benefits. Refined and streamlined, Heyns's decompression unit now consists of a tent or bag of plastic supported by a barrel-shaped glass-fiber frame. The zippered bag encases the woman from the armpits down. As the pregnant mother relaxes in a chair, a hose attached to the frame draws air out of the enclosure, reducing air pressure on the abdomen by as much as 3 Ibs. per square inch. Normal pressure within the abdomen remains constant, pushing out the abdominal muscle as decompression outside increases...

Last week's news that ABC has paid $800,000 for the Academy Award-winning French film A Man and a Woman came as no surprise to the industry. All year long, old and not-so-old movies have been winning the ratings race, even from prime-time shows. TV's appetite for more and better movies can only increase. But as the demand goes up, so do the prices, and turning a profit on such expensive shows becomes more and more of a problem...
Chandler is aware of history too. A Crucifixion scene is titled "For What!?" "Forced Integration," showing a white man raping a Negro woman, is meant to recall the origin of our lighter skinned colored Americans, and an eerie picture of a spiky branch-qua-hand is called "Hanging Tree." An eight-foot-high painting of a bearded Negro holding up a Black Power sign bears the title "Moses Brings the Word to His People...
