...treatment of acute menopausal symptoms like night sweats and hot flashes. It's O.K. to take it for that reason; just keep the dosage low, and take it for less than two years. As an alternative, some women swear by natural remedies, such as black cohosh and yam creams...

And the Cat III director?s game was to out-gross the competition, leaving the audience and his colleagues slack-jawed in flummoxed awe. That?s the only apt response to ?Red to Kill,? the masterpiece in the ITMFG collection - the killer vase among these grisly movie antiques. (The film is available in the U.S. on video...
