NVS clinical studies must pay handsomely ! 98. Beth Levine and Milton Packer $5,000,000 They are one of Dallas’ premier white-lab-coat-wearing power couples. Both are on the faculty at UT Southwestern, where Beth, 49, holds the Jay P. Sanford Professorship in Infectious Diseases, and Milton, 53, heads up the Center for Biostatistics and Clinical Science. Both have done extensive research on heart failure, and your heart just might stop if you’re ever invited to their 10,088-square-foot manor, which was built in 1934. The couple purchased the mansion in January 2004 from Randall and Cynthia Murphy (Randall founded the consulting firm Acclivus in 1976), and that put them on the list even though the value of the house itself was adjusted downward, from $3 million to $1.7 million. Still, after a hard day discussing ventricles, they can kick back and enjoy their six fireplaces, six baths (and three half baths!), and a wet bar. But only for medicinal purposes, we assume. http://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2005/april/the-100-most-expensive-homes-in-dallas

So a guy on the pharma bankroll designs a study using a 30 year old medicine as "gold standard" when ramipril a more modern ACE has CHF/Post MI indication & he uses the same type of combo the flopped with Vanlev & somehow tortures a benefit VS vasotec alone? The media & wall street went nuts over this?
