After reading what Mrs. Holstein "cooked" for her 14 guests, I think a woman would have to go out to work to pay her food bill!

Instead of profiteering, Connor said, Merck cut the price from $200 to $20 a gram before it had a competitor, then licensed so many other manufacturers that last year it had but 17% of the cortisone group market. Not for seven years did Merck recover its $21.8 million investment. Present...
