Lederle is only one of many established companies to make such a confession. In recent months, for instance, Sandoz Pharmaceuticals has retracted some of its claims for its trademarked tranquilizer Serentil. Marion Laboratories has acknowledged that Triten is chemically similar to at least one antihistamine. Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp. has conceded that its Ortho-Novum 1/50-21 contains no less estrogen and is in no way superior to other contraceptives with similar ingredients. All told, 15 companies, including most of the country's major drug manufacturers have publicly admitted errors in advertising 23 out of the thousands of drugs on sale...
...ACID has flowed under the bridge since Ken Kesey dropped his first cap of Sandoz nine years ago. Ken Kesey, the novelist who wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962), and Sometimes a Great Notion (1964), is--if one were to believe Tom Wolfe's chronicle of his recent life--responsible for a lot.

The Sioux, recovering from their surprise, made short work of Custer and the 212 cavalrymen whom he led. His last stand probably lasted no longer than 20 minutes. Afterward, the bodies of the soldiers were stripped and mutilated...
...Author Sandoz did a first-rate job in researching and recounting Custer's last battle. One fanciful notion about Custer's motivations, however, seems to be just too speculative to be taken seriously. Miss Sandoz reasoned that the 36-year-old soldier was burning to be President of the U.S. He began his march toward the Little Bighorn on June 22, five days before the Democratic National Convention was to meet in St. Louis. Custer, according to the author, hoped to achieve a spectacular victory over the Sioux, after which the convention would be stampeded into rewarding...
