I just read the article in the magazine. All the people who subscribe already have this month's issue. The cover is Mother Katharine Drexel and on the top in highlighted yellow is this: "Dying for Sex: Was Viagra Approved Too Quickley?" The article mentions five drugs that were pulled in the last 16 months. 1&2. Redux and Pondimin for heart valve abnormalities when used in combination with phenterine 3. Sledane for serious heart prblems when combined with certain drugs 4.Duract for liver failure when taken for extended periods of time 5. Posicor harmful interactions with any of 25 other drugs The article also used Muse to argue Pfiser's accusations that sex is what is killing these people. It goes on to say based on the 1 in 1.2 million deaths reported on Muse, using the number of scripts viagra had, we should expect 5 to 6 deaths versus the 130 confirmed deaths linked to Viagra. Maybe this will help stir the pot a little. In regards to a marketing partner, I am not holding my breath. I will be as happy as anyone, but I have a feeling they are going to tell us they wanted to wait out the current uptrends and Viagra contraversies to sure up a better deal. I hope this year is better than 1998 for this stock. Colby
