RX Ambush
A pharmaceutical company is in serious and funny trouble trying to promote a flawed aphrodisiac product. The trouble includes industrial espionage, romantic turmoil, private eyes and Congressional investigations. All recognized in today’s headlines. Woodruff, the company’s CEO, Parsons, the bent new executive male and female research scientist, congressmen, prostitutes, advertising and public relations agencies and Wall Street manipulators are all trapped in their own ambitious schemes. The action races through corporate offices, a SoHo loft, laboratories, secret experiments, Senate hearings and missing drugs with a key revelation from 14th century Florence. In the end Parson’s nefarious use of sexual and financial weapons and theft are uncovered by Woodruff and his allies and revealed in surprising developments during a Senate hearing. The author has had extensive experience in pharmaceutical company management, as well as a background in journalism.
The American Prison Business
First published in 1974, The American Prison Business studies the lunacies, the delusions, and the bizarre inner workings of the American prison business. From the first demonstration that the penitentiary is an American invention that was initiated by the late eighteenth-century reformers, to the startling revelations, in the chapter called ‘Cheaper than Chimpanzees’ of how pharmaceutical companies lease prisoners as human guinea-pigs, every page stimulates and surprises the reader as Jessica Mitford describes, inter alia the chemical, surgical and psychiatric techniques used to help ‘violent’ prisoners to be ‘reborn’; why businessmen tend to be more enthusiastic than the prisoners they employ in the ‘rent-a-con’ plan; and the Special Isolation Diet which tastes like inferior dog food. Jessica Mitford’s financial analysis of the prison business is a scoop. Her hard-eyed examination of how parole really works is a revelation. As the prison abolition movement continues to gain momentum, this book will provide food for thought for legislators, officials and students of sociology, law, criminology, penology, and history.
