Although medical research has traditionally concentrated on men, the emphasis seems to have shifted. We hear a lot more public-service announcements these days about breast cancer, for example, than we do about prostate cancer. Ultimately, however, men have to take responsibility for their own health. "Being a man should not only mean taking care of your family," says Williams, "but also taking care of yourself." Good advice. I think I'll take it and finally go see someone about my back...
...American women what disease they're most scared of, and the vast majority will answer without hesitation: breast cancer. They may even cite the ominous statistic that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point in her life. But what most women don't realize is that they actually have far more to fear from heart disease, which will strike 1 out of every 3.

Miller's mother was dying of breast cancer when his father came home from visiting her and suffered a massive heart attack. "He was probably lying on the floor for five minutes before I found him," recalls Miller. Suddenly, at 37, he found himself parentless. "I was real close to them," he says. "I was pretty shattered...
...some dyspeptic retirement cronie. I need not enemas, I need spice! Are we not good enough to taste the smart bite of but a little peprika? Is cumin too high, nay, too noble for us to delect? Where is oregano, with her gentle paws, lingering like flapdashes upon my breast (of chicken)? Oh heaven, why must my salad go alone and plain into the cold cold night? Bah! Tell the scullery maid to away to market and fetch us some life...
