DuPont isn't the only company throwing tacks in the path of its generic rivals. Just last week Novartis, maker of the blockbuster anti-rejection drug Neoral, for organ-transplant patients, failed to get a Massachusetts state drug board to limit sales of Neoral's equivalent, generic cyclosporine.

A recantation from one of the prosecution's witnesses could hurt. When an FBI agent in 1990 showed Edwin Bollier, a Swiss electronics maker, photos of a fingernail-size fragment found in the Scottish woods six months after Pan Am 103 went down, Bollier said it could have come from timers he had made for the Libyan army.
