There are 20 cases of gonorrhea for each case of syphilis. Although men inevitably have a discharge and a sore if stricken by gonorrhea, two thirds of the female gonorrhea cases are asyptomatic. Fiumara, who is also a clinical instructor in dermatology at the Medical School, said, "The poor female doesn't know she has it unless the male tells her he's been exposed...
Dang right, pardner. Not even the redoubtable Lee Marvin, sadly cast in the title role of Monte Walsh. He and Chet (Jack Palance) amble vaguely across Southwestern cattle country, swapping hand-rolled cigarettes and saddle-sore lines that would make a dogie bleat in an guish.

A secretary put it another way: "When I came to work, I felt like I should take out my whole respiratory system and wash it." But strangely enough, neither hospitals nor doctors reported unusual numbers...
