It took five panels to sift the anti-infection agents alone. Dermatological drugs required another three panels, and drugs for the treatment of heart diseases...

But private capital can no longer hire the clerks and lease the computers needed to handle the flood of paperwork created by the huge increase in trading volume, nor can private money support the costly research staff demanded by today's increasingly sophisticated investor...
