Ousted FDA Chief Talks Drug Firm Pressure
Former FDA commissioner Dr Herbert Ley says drug companies pressed relentlessly as the agency restricted uses of Dynapen and banned cyclamates. He cites five daily calls and two hour meetings with Bristol Laboratories, while noting limited top level HEW support under Finch. A separate Framingham raid yielded 250000 in counterfeit bills, with seven arrests including Lawrence Stearns and Rosario Bartoli.
