...Guide is, its very necessity is a sad commentary on our University. Black Harvard history and black student life at Harvard are, after all, integral parts of University history and life—parts that shouldn’t have to be relegated to their own book. If the generic “Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard” produced by Harvard Student Agencies (HSA) was more inclusive in its listings, it would better serve the needs of Harvard students of all ethnicities...
...headache is the imminent expiration in the U.S. of the patent on another Bayer best seller, the antibiotic Cipro, the drug of choice during the panic over anthrax, which boosted sales to j1.9 billion. The company hopes a new once-a-day Cipro version will help maintain sales against generic competition from companies like Ratiopharm in Germany. Bayer had long insisted that it needed a drug unit to help offset market cycles in its chemical and pesticide units. When Werner Wenning took over as CEO last year, he suggested the company would be willing to merge its drug business...

The acquisition puts Novartis in position to challenge Israel's Teva Pharmaceuticals as the world's leading producer of generic drugs...
...compositions made the album. Then her manager got a message from a man calling himself Mutt, who said he had seen one of Twain's kittenish videos while exercising in his London home and was interested in writing songs with her. The manager sent Mutt an autographed photo with generic "Best wishes," unaware that Mutt was Robert John (Mutt) Lange, producer of seven of the 100 best-selling albums of all time. After the mistake was realized, Twain and Mutt started writing songs together over the phone. A few months later, they met in person at a Nashville, Tenn., music...
