...hard to imagine anyone better suited than senior writer Steve Wulf to profile Cal Ripken Jr. on the eve of the Orioles star's coronation as baseball's all-time king of endurance. Like his subject, Wulf has more than a passing familiarity with stamina. Wulf produced more than 500 stories during his 17 years at our sister publication SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. And though he has written on basketball, football, sailing and golf since coming to TIME last January (not to mention children's TV and the Susan Smith murder case), the game he has always been most passionate about...

HRT can sometimes alleviate vaguer woes -- the generalized achiness that some women feel and a sense of mental fogging. There is a "euphoric effect or general improvement in mental state," says Cleveland endocrinologist Wulf Utian, co-founder of the North American Menopause Society...
...hormone wary there are other measures. Over-the-counter lubricants can make sex more comfortable, and nonprescription moisturizers like Replens or Gyne-Moistrin can help rehydrate dry tissues. One of the best things to keep the machinery humming is sex itself, says Dr. Wulf Utian, co-founder of the North American Menopause Society. As with aging muscles, bones and brain cells, it's a matter of use it or lose...
