...crackdown is timely, given that 200 patents are set to expire over the next five years on branded drugs with annual sales totaling $30 billion. That will give the makers of copycat products a rare opportunity to steal market share, since generics on average debut at 75% of the cost of their name-brand rivals. The price difference could be crucial to many Americans since the average cost to fill a prescription jumped 10.5% in 2000--to $45.27--according to the National Institute for Health Care Management. That increase was more than three times as great as the overall rate...
...college comedy "Undeclared" and Barry Sonnenfeld's superhero spoof "The Tick." Fine comedies both. And I can say that with conviction because I've seen them already - "The Tick" was sent to critics last summer and "Undeclared" this winter, both with plans to run midseason.

...most recent institutional gig was as editor of Spy magazine (he seems very proud of the fact that he “elevated it to within spitting distance of its former glory” and then “accidentally drove it out of business”), and this debut has been getting not an insignificant amount of good buzz. Hopefully it’s as funny and original as Maddox and his conspirators seem to think it is. I plan to read it for its somewhat original premise and its seemingly healthy sense of self-worth and promising sense...
