Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... Good Morning

Rise and shine. Another shiny day is on the way. And it looks to be a busy one, since we are off the Pharmalot corporate campus today for a series of meetings. Nonetheless, some rituals remain intact - we are about to stop for a mandatory cup of stimulation. Meanwhile, here are some tidbits from around the world. Hope your day goes well...

WRT to Pfizer and Bristol bloodthinners, I have some questions. Antidote? Who is liable for problems?

I'm sure the prosecutor from Manhattan, who has probably stood on line many times at Duane Reade, couldn't help but smile as he described its CEO's malfeasance as "ongoing" & "continuous."
