That could some day become a standard question among men and women. Writing in the British journal Lancet last week, Researchers Christer Bergquist, Sven Johan Nillius and Leif Wide of the University Hospital of Uppsala, Sweden, reported progress toward an unusual goal: the development of a nasal spray contraceptive. In their work, they used a derivative of a hormone known as LRH (for luteinizing hormone- releasing hormone).

...President Carlton Rattigan, or maybe President Richard Monckton? Could it have been President Sven Ericson?
