Yes, i was there in swadling clothes, but certainly in 64 to some degree and 68 was a terrible era in which the demonstrations, again, turned partially economic with looting and other things and that resulted in major city riots, some of what were hearing about today, the National Guard coming in, and that then did morph into a bit of an economic setback as the economy struggled. It didnt plunge the stock market, but it set the economy back and major cities like detroit and newark and others actually have not come back from the response they had to the social unrest in 68 and so on let us hope that it is nowhere near that, yes, ive been around long enough to have that memory, and thats why i can tell you for now, it looks a little bit less spontaneous and more structural in that certain Interest Groups seem to be in

Inevitably, they have drinksn their hand, probably because we chat at receptions, hotel bars and the like. But the conversation is always interesting, informative, and fun.

The inspections that they could duck, the very hands on work that is involved in making sure that the manufacturers of drugs is safe. They certainly set up offices all over the world to do that, but thats not the same as having offices having manufactured in your own country. And with the u. S. Losing manufacturing capacity, which
