This net has been sounding too much like net.flame to suit me. Seriously, remember that we will all die of something (at least given current technology). Hence there will always be a number 1 killer (or an n-way tie for first place, n=2,...). As various diseases are brought under control (even if partially), the killer rankings are going to shift. Also, better diagnosis or autopsies may change the stats. My point is don't be shocked by the media scare stories about a number one killer! a la Ann Landers, sign me "from California" (hee hee) Maurice {decvax,sdcrdcf,hplabs,ucbvax}!trwrb!suhre
