...least two dissatisfied former employees are suing. Richard Crosland, 55, a microbiologist suing for age discrimination after his 1997 layoff, worked primarily with botulinum toxin. "7-Eleven had better inventory controls than USAMRIID," he says. "The inventories were pretty much a joke. People often just filled them in using last month's forms. In my 11 years there, they never once asked for my botulinum toxin records. If I had taken it all home--which of course I didn't--no one would have known." How can he be sure?

Died. Anthony Crosland, 58, British Foreign Secretary and one of the Labor movement's leading theorists of democratic socialism; of a stroke; in Oxford, England. The son of a senior civil servant, Crosland went to Oxford, where he earned a first in politics, philosophy and economics. While serving in the House of Commons and in various Labor governments, he wrote several books, including The Future of Socialism (1956), which suggested that class had replaced capitalism as the appropriate target of socialists.
