Cholesterol drug probe widens over Vytorin concerns
In Trenton a House committee presses Merck and Schering-Plough for more data on the SEAS study linking Vytorin to possible cancer risk. The panel seeks access to the Oxford scientist Sir Richard Peto and questions about a related report to the FDA. The probe expands as lawmakers also examine delays in releasing a second Vytorin study and the drugs’ joint venture profitability.

Rampage reveals pitfalls for mentally ill
SEATTLE AP Isaacs Zamora’s mother pleaded for help before his release from jail. He was later arrested after a rural northwest Washington rampage that killed six and wounded four, ending with a surrender at a Mount Vernon sheriff’s office. His mother urged awareness of his mental illness while noting legal limits on family intervention. Washington law requires danger, risk, or grave disability for involuntary admission, and families struggle to secure treatment despite safeguards for individual rights.
