...Waksal's supporters say he deserves the credit. "Erbitux would not have gotten this far, this fast, without Sam," says Icahn, who held ImClone shares last year but sold them months before the FDA rejection. It was in April 1999 that Shannon Kellum, 28 and diagnosed with incurable colon cancer, began taking Erbitux. Within months her tumors had shrunk to a fifth their previous size. Much of the hype around ImClone was built on that one success. ImClone was so eager to cash in that, according to the FDA, it mishandled the clinical trials, prompting the agency to deny...

And soon the writer had departed; all the jawing about script changes had given him a spastic colon, and his doctor told him to scram to Tahiti. Per Buford, "Lancaster said, 'Gee, Ernie, I hope we're not the cause of this,' his big arm around the much smaller Lehman's shoulder as he left." (In the movie, J.J. would tell his sister, "Say exactly what's on your mind, dear," his big hand on her upper back like...
