The "Cat" issue comes from the following: "While in medical school, Frist adopted cats from Boston animal shelters, telling shelter staff he intended to keep them as pets. He would then experiment on and kill the animals as part of his medical studies. Later, in his 1989 book Transplant, he commented: "It was a heinous and dishonest thing to do. I was going a little crazy." Although Frist's practice has been in the public eye for 11 years, the matter appears to be gathering new attention since his election as Senate majority leader [1]. PETA has recently called on him to apologize." from a Bill Frist biographical sketch at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Frist NKP On Jul 30, 2005, at 10:30 AM, Gerry Haines wrote: > Why would anyone repeat hearsay about Sen.
