The Doctors Need Perscriptions, The Wives Need Their Pills

Leo Sternbach, the developer of Valium, has died at the age of 97. His invention inspired two songs, the Rolling Stones' "Mother's Little Helper" and the Fall's "Rowche Rumble." Valium and other drugs that Sternbach held patents for accounted for one quarter of Roche's revenues.

It exists...I have heard about it all my life. Just never seen it. Kind of like you having a date, Tom.

And I thank God for that every day Tom. :)

Of course the use of sordid is quite...interesting.
