In the early nineties, when you were thinking very seriously about the importance of triplicates, the person covering the fda, the health bureaucracy and science was me. Back then, my sympathies did not lie with the sid wolves of the world. I thought medicine was full of trustworthy, judicious professionals who did not need big brother looking over their shoulder. Now i realize no one was more wrong than me on this issue. Hundreds of thousands of people have died in this country because we didn't pay attention to what you were saying in 19 91.
