...high a price for modern medicine is too high a price? There is, as usual, no clear answer. The problem itself reflects a paradox best stated by French Novelist Andr?? Malraux: "A human life is worth nothing, but nothing is worth a human life...
...frequented it. But the picture has none of the social irony or even the sensuality with which Toulouse-Lautrec and Degas invested their brothel paintings.

Moreover, the selling had spread from U.S.-based multinationals to ordinary companies in the American heartland. In most cases, however, the selling was self-protective rather than speculative in the true sense; if a manufacturer in Illinois bought steel from a German mill, it had a strong motive...
