...world in which giant scorpion bowls and sinister fortune cookies lurk around every corner. It is a world inhabited by a militant feminist stripper, a Harvard dropout, a closet homosexual, a closet heterosexual, a voluptuous blues singe and a troupe of waiters with names out of an Abbott and Costello routine.

These products have a superlative 40-year record of safe and effective use in the health-care industry. Nor is Abbott a "PVC maker." Abbott Laboratories fabricates safe, government-approved health-care products using...
