Does this man understand something about back pain that nobody else knows?

Article Abstract:

Vertebral discs are not an essential part of the human anatomy, according to consultant orthopaedic and neurosurgeon Alexander Walker-Naddell. He came to this conclusion after spending 10 years dissecting bodies in the pathology department of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He found that many bodies did not have any vertebral discs and that the deceased had not experienced any back problems. He believes that vertebral discs are merely the remnants of a primitive structure seen only in the foetus. He is able to remove slipped discs in a simple, painless process which takes only a short time.

Nobody to fear but her fans

Article Abstract:

German tennis player Steffi Graf, 24, has been Wimbledon champion four times. She was born in Mannheim and grew up in Bruhl. Her father, who is her manager, sold used cars, but was once a tennis pro. He also ran a coaching school and trained Steffi. She was the second youngest player to become world-ranking at the age of 13. In 1987 she ranked best in the world. In 1990/91 she broke her thumb skiing and had other illnesses. When her father's drinking problem and love affair were publicised in the press she did not win a Grand Slam for 18 months.

When they die, there's nobody to care

Article Abstract:

Welfare funerals are arranged by local authorities when either through poverty or social isolation, the deceased has no one to make funeral arrangements. Westminster City Council organises more than 120 of these basic funerals annually. Sometimes the funerals entail burying parts of found corpses that may have to be exhumed for police evidence later. The coroner's office makes efforts to contact relatives, but there is often very little information to go on, as either the deceased had no family or had left them many years ago.
