...terrorism” borders on being unpatriotic. Little legitimacy has been given to the concerns about the safety of the vaccine or whether the mass immunization strategy is really the most effective approach in a post event environment. It is curious that these same authors rarely express doubts about politicians who presume to be able to evaluate the scientific issues involved...
...comics publisher Max Gaines (whose son Bill would publish Tales from the Crypt and Mad in the '50s) recommended the lads to DC Comics. Finally someone said yes. From that first issue, the character was fully formed: he could "hurdle a 20-story building ... run faster than an express train ..." and still, as Clark Kent, never impress newsgal Lois Lane.

He then swallowed Shearson, Hayden Stone and other houses before selling the whole shebang in 1981 to American Express. By 1985, when Weill lost a power struggle with white-bread Amex CEO James D. Robinson III and was ousted as president, it wasn't because Weill was Jewish. He was just outmaneuvered. And he left as a multimillionaire. It's difficult for Langley to set a good sob story at Weill...
