``WHAT WOMEN WANT''

Nick Marshall was the ultimate man's man. A charming, irrepressible bachelor living on the A-list of life, he loved listening to Sinatra and, like the Chairman of the Board himself, thought he had the world on a string. Then one night, in the privacy of his Rat Pack dream apartment, that string began to unravel when he got an unexpected jolt, which opened his eyes and ears more than he could have imagined. Or ever dreamed of. Now, Nick Marshall, hot shot advertising executive and self-proclaimed God's gift to women, suddenly found that he had another gift -- when he discovered he could hear the inner most thoughts of every women he came in contact with.

STOP CANCER

STOP CANCER was founded in 1988 by the late Dr. Armand Hammer and is chaired by Sherry Lansing, Chairman of Paramount Pictures' Motion Picture Group. The organization is unique in its direct funding of cancer research scientists and has raised over $30 million to date for the National Cancer Institute-designated UCLA/Jonsson and USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Centers. All funds raised by STOP CANCER are matched by the receiving institutions, creating a Research Center Development Award with a value of at least $300,000 to each scientist.
