...describe Derrick, your first client who was executed, as "a bad guy." And yet you were clearly torn up by his death. What's it like to develop a personal connection with unsavory characters? Most of the cases I work on are tragic, but at a very deep level they make sense to me. I understand how [the crime] happened. Most of my clients dropped out of school. They've got extensive juvenile records. They came from backgrounds of deprivation. I'm not saying that excuses their conduct. I'm simply saying that there were any number of points...
...personality becomes the persona. Every time you sign up for a new social-networking service, you make decisions about, literally, who you want to be. You package yourself - choose an avatar, pick a name, state your status - not unlike a storyteller creating a character or a publicist positioning a client.

"It's going to make it much more likely that if I'm a cardiologist or general practitioner and I have an affluent or celebrity client who has a problem with drugs or alcohol, or it has turned into a drug or alcohol problem, then I'd be much more likely to refer them than to manage them in my office. It's going to make people much more cautious about the potential risks, and that...
Even Cardinal's cash cow, its drug distribution, had begun to fall behind. Nearly half of the company's customers are national retail chains, including Walgreens and CVS Caremark. While these contracts assure a steady flow of capital, the margins on them are razor thin. Losing just one client could be catastrophic...
