Paris chemist Dr. Robert Aries testifies to Sen Kennedy's subcommittee alleging that most drug industry profits go to patenting and marketing rather than research. He says only 45 of 1,500 international patents in 1972 were truly new drugs and claims firms price drugs at about five times production cost.
