Georgia is desperate - and Tennessee isn't the only neighbor it is poking. Last year Lake Lanier, Atlanta's primary water source, hit record lows and Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue took on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, demanding that the flow of water from the reservoir and the Chattahoochee River downstream to Florida and Alabama be restricted. The Corps politely disagreed and more recently a federal court ruled Georgia's access to Lake Lanier be curtailed...
...disasters strike, you won't find Becky Myton handing out cans of sardines. Although the little fish pack a protein wallop, "if you give out cans of sardines and people don't like them, you're just not doing them a favor," says Myton, an emergency coordinator for the Atlanta-based aid organization CARE.

"We didn't look for excitement problems in the mid-'70s," says Therapist Stephen Sloan in Atlanta. "It was assumed that everyone desires sex." Some therapists, accustomed to reporting 75% to 90% success rates in treating other sexual difficulties, report a 10% to 30% success rate in treating ISD. Philadelphia Sexologist Harold Lief has estimated that 20% of all adult Americans are afflicted with ISD. "It is clear that we are talking about enormous numbers...
