...find that phenylbutazone, a nonhormonal, anti-inflammatory drug that combats both inflammation and the pain that accompanies it, will help in more serious instances. Persistent cases can be treated by injections of cortisone, a process that many tennis addicts find as painful as tennis elbow itself. As a last resort, some doctors even advise surgery to release the tension on arm tendons or ligaments or trim down oversize epicondyles. In some cases, however, tennis elbow disappears almost as suddenly as it began, often without treatment...

Two images only reinforce the suspicion that Writer-Director Richard L. Bare had difficulty filling even one screen, and had to resort to all sorts of scraps off the cutting-room floor.

But congressional committees can hardly intervene in every specific disagreement. The legislative proposals, while attractive as a last resort, might result in adding a new level of bureaucracy to an already tangled situation. An alternative would be to revive the Kheel board's proposals and make them stick. To these should be added a provision for a standing arbitration committee that would consider and promptly rule on specific disputes. That would be one way to end the game in which...
