For instance, Johnny Carson told his Tonight Showf audience and millions of television viewers last week that he had thought up a good name for a movie star: Roach Holder. It got a lot of laughs. But how many persons in his audience knew that a roach is the butt end of a marijuana cigarette, and a holder is a sometimes elaborate device that allows a a teen-eager- s late-nig- Trials and Tribulations . . .

In the past, sinus infections lingered, and more so when the septum was deviated or the inner lining of the nose was sw ollen, blocking the sinus ducts. Our modern remedies for head colds lessen the likelihood of this complication being serious. We have many decongestants that reduce swelling and obstruction. The secretions remain more fluid and are quickly drained off. The antibiotics also are used when sinusitis is suspected. Headache, the primary symptom of sinus disease, generally is worse on arising. Pain is most severe when the frontal sinuses (above eyes) are involved, and more so when these cavities are filled with pus.
