Glaring Examples. Private patients are not the only ones who pay higher prices for brand-name drugs; so do many state and local governments. Wisconsin's Democratic Senator Gaylord Nelson last week heard a series of witnesses before his Monopoly Subcommittee testify on the price spreads. William F. Haddad, a former Peace Corps and antipoverty executive, now heading a New York citizens' committee conducting research on city problems, cited the most glaring examples...

He tried to catch up with the rumors by pointing out that his mother is a Russian-born Jew who keeps a kosher home, and that his father had the misfortune of having been born in Cairo to Egyptian Jews. He protested to the Fair Campaign Practices Committee, issued statements, got Jimmy Roosevelt to make a public statement on his behalf, and met with Yiddish-language newspaper editors in an attempt to convince them that he is just as Jewish as Farbstein...
