...Newer, and far more mysterious, is a set of disease reactions that doctors describe as "pharmacogenetic." In these cases a drug may have no detectable harmful effect upon the vast majority of members of one ethnic group; yet because of a hereditary quirk, some individuals will be made gravely ill. Best example, said Dr. Moser, is the tendency-rare in the general U.S. population-to a blood-destroying anemia that can develop after taking aspirin or phenacetin (compounded together in the familiar APC tablets), some sulfonamides, and drugs for the relief of peptic ulcer...

The fissure grew out of Malcolm's intellectual independence, not his dogmatism...
...Chevrolet division has been in trouble for some time, and last July G.M. turned it over to ex-Pontiac Boss Elliott ("Pete") Estes for some quick fixes. Chevy's styling was a bit bulgy, and its workmanship gave rise to widespread customer complaints about ill-fitting upholstery, rattling doors and leaking windows. Estes visited every one of Chevy's assembly plants, test-drove cars straight off the assembly line, and ordered repairs on the spot...
