 "The case hardly raised a mention in the mainstream press, but it explains the intense battle we now see between broadly similar products fighting for a slice of the growing erectile dysfunction market.

 "Lilly's Oraflex team decided to expand the concept: why not send the kits out to thousands of mainstream press outlets, including TV and radio, perhaps pushing the notion (albeit technically unproven) that Oraflex actually healed tissues and hence might "cure" arthritis?

 "The chronological oddities engulfing this famous statue are so blatantly obvious that they even make their way into the mainstream press on occasion. This is what our contemporaries write:
"The history of the equestrian statue is truly unusual. It contains many riddles, and has grown over with legends. For instance, its author and previous location in ancient Rome remain unknown...

F.]"- Anatoly Fomenko, History: Fiction or Science? Chronology 2 (Get the book.) |
