 | | In arguing for more research in physiology, he cited "a definitive health survey of nearly 4,500 Vietnam war veterans revealing that men with the highest levels of testosterone -- a male sex hormone -- were violent and impulsive, committed crimes, abused drugs, were promiscuous, beat their wives and had poor work records. |
