A.A. The similarity between big news and big pharma is striking. They are
both far more lucrative than other industries, both hide behind ideals
while being concerned only with profits (hence the cutbacks, for those who
don't read the above quote), and both are engaged in repacking and
presenting rather than in finding news or developing new products.
