FTC Would Permit Prescription Drug Price Advertising
The Federal Trade Commission proposed rules to overturn state bans on advertising prescription drug prices. If adopted, ads would require price variation warnings and aim to curb consumer costs, with support from chain drugstores and opposition from pharmacists groups. The plan follows surveys showing wide price ranges for common medications and seeks public input before final action.

Sato profile spans years as Japan’s postwar leader
The Nobel committee honored Sato for stabilizing Asia and limiting nuclear spread while he resisted Japan becoming a nuclear power. Critics say a pro US military line was pushed. He opposed Okinawa’s return to Japan, calling it a key conservative triumph amid ties with the United States. Born 1901, Sato rose from Tokyo University law graduate to parliament and prime minister in 1993 after Ikeda, with Kishi preceding him. He faced feminist protests over wife’s interview about abuse and broke with norms by embracing colorful attire and long hair.
