In both cases, the > female people involved were "new kids on the block". I just finished reading Diane Ackerman's A NATURAL HISTORY OF THE SENSES. (Recommend it: a bit lightweight, but some fascinating facts/factoids/ speculations, and it's ravishingly written.) She mentions, without cita- tion, some research that shows that when a "new" woman enters a room, all the men present who don't know her experience a jump in testoserone level. A similar thing happens to women when a "new" man enters their ken. Someone who knows about this research will probably correct the details (a.h.?). -->Keith dawson@epps.kodak.com -- -->Keith dawson@epps.kodak.com
