Eli Lilly, passing a provision exempting it from liability
for the effects of thimerosol, a chemical some research has
linked to autism in children. This provision stripping the
rights of hundreds of thousands of Americans was an 11th hour
addition to legislation creating the massive homeland security
agency. It’s such a shameful sellout to the pharmaceutical
industry that no representative will claim responsibility
for it.

Terry McAuliffe, was a Winnick crony who made his own killing
before Global Crossing tanked, and its most visible presidential
candidate, Joseph Lieberman, is fighting to the political death
for loosey-goosey stock-option accounting. Just as the Harken-
Halliburton stories gathered fuel, such tribunes of the people
as Tom Daschle, Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Kerry boarded
corporate jets supplied by companies like Eli Lilly and BellSouth
to rendezvous in Nantucket with their favor-seeking fat cats.

a meeting at New York University's Medical Center to discuss
this plot. They are proposing a $25 million multinational study
involving 1,500 young people ranging in age from 15 to 25. And
where would the funding for such a mind-blowing (literally) study
come from? You guessed it - those who would profit the most:
Eli Lilly & Co., American Home Products, Sanofi-Synthelabo,
Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceutical Inc. and, of course,
Pfizer Inc.

Currently, Ken Lay serves on the Board of Directors of Compaq Computer
Corporation, Eli Lilly and Company...

Lieberman has received political donations from accounting companies,
including Arthur Andersen's political action committee. The New Democrat
Network, a campaign group he co-founded to support the election of centrist
Democrats, also has received $14,500 from the Andersen PAC and $15,000 from
Enron's PAC since 1997, according to PoliticalMoneyLine, an independent
monitoring group.

Earnings at Merck and Eli Lilly are faltering.
Will they cut R&D to boost earnings?
Or will they remain true to their tradition
by betting heavily on new drugs, even in tough times?

The jets were supplied by BellSouth Corp.,
Eli Lilly and Co., FedEx and AFLAC. All have

The latest information shows that while Mr. Lay was
Enron's C.E.O. he was practically a fixture at the
White House, attending the inaugural, the Easter egg
rolling, T-ball games and other events large and small.
The Senate Government Affairs Committee, headed by Joseph
Lieberman, would like to know more about Mr. Lay's role
in lobbying for policy and personnel changes at the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission and the Tennessee Valley Authority.

The biggest of several deals that allowed Mr. White to
"hide the loss" - a deal in which the documents show him
intimately involved - was a 15-year contract to supply
electricity and natural gas to the Indiana pharmaceutical
company Eli Lilly. Any future returns from the deal were
purely hypothetical. Indeed, the contract assumed a deregulated
electricity market, which didn't yet exist in Indiana. Yet
without delivering a single watt of power - and having paid
cash up front to Lilly, not the other way around

White House faxed Lieberman a 6-page letter showing that Enron executives were granted numerous previously undisclosed meetings and phone calls with White House officials, including three phone calls between former chairman Kenneth L. Lay and Bush's senior adviser, Karl Rove? The issue of contacts between Enron and the White House is sensitive because the company's executives were among Bush's most generous backers? The letter?detailed a meeting that Bush held in the Oval Office on Feb. 7, 2001, with Lay and 19 other business leaders? Lay held a 30-minute meeting with? Cheney and a private meeting with his energy task force director, ?spoke a few times with chief economic adviser Lawrence B. Lindsey, 'most likely about the California energy shortage.' Lay recommended 21 people for White House appointments and three of them were appointed? Lieberman asserted that the committee was 'being slow- walked at least and stonewalled at worst.'"

In Fla. an unknown number of residents recently received samples of
unsolicited Prozac in the mail, apparently the result of their health
records being used for marketing purposes. Prosecutors are
investigating the anti-depressant's manufacturer Eli Lilly & Co.,
drugstore chain Walgreen Co. and a Florida doctor's group, but
it remains unclear whether the mailings were actually illegal.
In a separate but similar case, the Florida based Eckerd Corp.
drug chain recently got in hot water for selling its customer
database to drug companies for marketing materials.
