Recognizing and preventing men's health problems is not just a man's issue. Because of its impact on wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters, men's health is truly a family issue.

We recognize that there are potential home heating oil shortages, ... We're concerned about natural gas too, both the prices and access and other issues.
The projections that the futures market is making are that you're going to see gradual decreases in gasoline prices,
We don't know the extent of the full damage. It is serious, but the FBI and our law enforcement people at Los Alamos are pursuing this vigorously.
