...Decrying Japan's conquest of "industry after industry," West Virginia's Robert Byrd said, "We have to send a message to our own wimpy diplomats that we're not going to take it lying down anymore."

American Home Products, the maker of Advil and Anacin, is acquiring A.H. Robins. Merck, meanwhile, is scarcely standing still. In March the company formed a joint venture with Johnson & Johnson, its New Jersey neighbor, under which Merck will develop over-the-counter versions of patented medicines that Johnson & Johnson will market...
