This week studies showed that two prescription drugs--montelukast, a pill, and salmeterol, an inhalant--can be used effectively on a daily basis to prevent exercise-induced wheezing...
...culture's outdated notions of masculinity. The result is what Pollack calls the ever present "boy code"--a stoic, uncommunicative, invulnerable stance that does not allow boys to be the warm, empathic human beings they are.
