Countless families are in similar straits in West Germany, which has more than 2,500 tha-lidomide-deformed children. Last week the marathon trial involving executives of Chemie Grunenthal GMBH, developers of thalidomide, droned through its 150th day. It is expected to drag on through next spring...
