Then several years later Washington heard a radio ad seeking women like her for a study of testosterone patches. People usually think of testosterone as a male hormone, but women have plenty in their systems too, and researchers have reason to believe that the hormone is involved in the female sex drive. About half of women's testosterone is produced in the ovaries, so the patches were an attempt to replace what had been lost through surgery.

Interrupting a speaker, however, is one person wielding his or her right of free speech...
Knowingly violating the rules and gracefully accepting the punishment for the sake of a greater cause is at the heart of civil disobedience. By taking what the Ad Board has to give her, Howard will have made an even more powerful case for the Tibetan people...
