Since most of the attention has been focused on girls, researchers don't know much about how chlamydia affects boys. There's an impression that it's not as harmful, but no proof. In some cases, the infection does produce a painful swelling of the testes. But no one yet knows if it can lead to scarring and infertility in males...

Once threaded with a few Bell Atlantic cables, they are now knitted by dozens of other "local loops" from competing firms--proof that at the end of the day, there may be only one set of guys who are guaranteed to profit in this new telecom world: the cable splicers...
