...saga Tai-Pan. For more than a decade, Chen was excellent in good movies and amusing in bad ones. In Stanley Kwan's Red Rose, White Rose she is a figure of eros and pathos, driving her lover quietly nuts with her desperate vitality; the turn won her a Hong Kong Film Critics award. Back in the West, she copped a less prestigious prize--a Razzie nomination for worst actress--when she played an Inuit activist in Steven Seagal's On Deadly Ground.

Yet that's the depressing possibility the Food and Drug Administration was forced to confront last week. At least 35 people have died from liver damage after taking Rezulin, a medication the agency approved two years ago. In an unusual meeting last week, a panel of independent experts wrestled with the question of whether the agency should reverse itself and pull the drug from the market...
