MEXICO CITY -- Mexico City is giving free Viagra and other impotence drugs to thousands of men 70 and older. Mayor Marcelo Ebrard says that the city is implementing the plan because sexuality "has a lot to do with quality of life and our happiness."

City Health Secretary Armando Ahued said yesterday that the government will start handing out doses of one or two of the pills Dec. 1. He estimated that 112,000 men 70 or older live in the Federal District, which has a population of 8.7 million.
