As a result, flying doctors had a fatal-accident rate four times as high as the average for all other private pilots...
...only the second time in its history, the Food and Drug Administration last week struck a physician's name from its approved list of researchers who are entitled to test new, investigational drugs on human subjects. The target of the FDA's action was Dr. Albert M. Kligman, a Philadelphia dermatologist, along with "all investigators associated with" three incorporated laboratories of which he is president and director...
