...prosecute later. That may mean potentially sacrificing a legal victory by gathering evidence in unorthodox or inadmissible ways, or resorting to the Al Capone strategy of using lesser charges--like immigration violations, minor perjury or food-stamp fraud--to keep a suspect off the street. That can make for rough justice. Says an official: "The American people want it all ways. They want the disruption, and they want it to look pretty...
Pantano is not a typical Marine. He was born in New York City and grew up in Hell's Kitchen, then a rough part of town. "You could usually see crack vials lying on the sidewalk," he recalls. High school took him to a very different part of the city. Thanks to financial aid, he attended Horace Mann School in Riverdale, N.Y., a place better known for socialites than for soldiers.

But "rough patch" hardly begins to describe all the bad news that has battered the agency over the past few months, from the possible suicide risks with antidepressants like Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft to the cardiac risks of pain-killers like Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra. Americans depend on the FDA to carefully weigh the benefits and risks of all drugs before approving them, but the agency has had trouble lately shaking the growing perception...
