Every man who is newly diagnosed should consider his choices thoroughly," noted Dr. Gregory S. Merrick, director of the Schifller Oncology Center in Wheeling, West Virginia. The National Cancer Institute estimates that by age 50, one third of all American men will have microscopic signs of prostate cancer. By age 75, 50 percent to 75 percent will have cancerous changes in the prostate. Many men, making thoroughly informed choices with their loved ones and their doctors, are increasingly choosing to aggressively combat their cancer in a way that minimizes unpleasant side effects.

With traffic building, an increasing number of drivers are ignoring one of the most bask rules of the road stopping at red lights.

Slater. Obeying red lights at intersections is a simple pledge we can all take to improve safety, which is President Clinton's highest transportation priority."
