Some drugs that are aggressively peddled by pharmaceutical manufacturers may do more harm than good, and the facts that physicians need to know about them may be concealed for commercial reasons. These charges against the industry were made last week by two outspoken physicians, one with personal experience in the business, the other a university expert on its products...

It was after he was condemned that he began stirring up his astonishing storm. He published three books, one of which, Cell 2455 Death Row, became a bestseller, and all of which, according to his publishers, Prentice-Hall, sold "millions" of copies...
