...agency officials contend that frequent communication with applicants is essential. "If a sponsor chooses to act on that information and insider trade, that's his responsibility," says Robert Temple, director of the FDA's oncology-drug evaluation group. And last week, without naming names, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill suggested a solution to the escalating crisis of executives abusing trust. "We ought to hang them from the very highest branches." --With reporting by Andrew Goldstein/Washington and Unmesh Kher and Julie Rawe/New York
...stage producer who valued art over the box office and brought to Broadway plays by some of the most distinguished writers of the 20th century; in New York City. In a 60-year theater career, Whitehead mounted premier productions of Tennessee Williams' Orpheus Descending (1957) and Eugene O'Neill's Desire Under the Elms (1952), along with the 1984 revival of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, which starred Dustin Hoffman and John Malkovich.
