That's why Blue Cross of California has asked the FDA to shift Claritin to OTC status. But Schering-Plough, manufacturer of Claritin, sold $2.7 billion worth of the drug last year, 85% of which came from U.S. sales. Rx is O.K. for Schering...

...also represents the Natural Law Party. Meanwhile, Perotians are trying to put "No endorsement" on the party's ballot. If such a blank slate were to win, the party might not have a nominee, meaning it would lose its $12 million in federal matching funds and its party status for 2004. It would join the ranks of most American third parties, which have quickly faded away...
