...meantime, at least five therapies are now being studied around the world for their potential in treating MCI. Among the candidate treatments are vitamin E, anti-inflammatory medications called cox-2 inhibitors and the Alzheimer's drug Aricept. The first results aren't expected for three to four years...
...attorney in Cox's matter, Marvin Collins, did not criticize the pardon with the same vehemence as federal prosecutors did in Clinton's case. Indeed, he called Cox a good candidate for an eventual pardon. But Collins did question the timing. The Justice Department usually waits five years after a convict finishes his sentence before recommending a pardon. At the time the pardon was given, Collins called it "premature" because the five years had not yet elapsed...
...likeness to Clinton's acts of clemency is limited. The bank fraud for which Cox pleaded guilty is not seen as heinous as the cocaine-dealing conviction of Carlos Vignali, whose prison term was commuted by Clinton and who was also the son of a generous donor.

But nearly every pardon granted by Bush had its support, he said...
Gray saw no problem with Cox's library contribution because it was made after the pardon. By contrast, Rich's ex-wife gave $450,000 to Clinton's project before he pardoned her ex-husband. "What's semi-toxic for Clinton was raising money for the library while he was still in office and letting people know, By the way, we're open for pardons, too," said Gray. "We never solicited Mr. Cox's application...
