But it's likely that drugmakers will move quickly to get substitutes on the market, even if they dispute the panel's conclusion, which, not surprisingly, they...
...have suggested that the idealism of "West Wing" constitutes some sort of wish-fulfillment for its viewers.

It wasn't surprising, then, that requests ranged from early-era "Disappearing Boy," found on 1990's indie release 39/Smooth, to semi-joke track "Dominated Love Slave" from their second album Kerplunk! On the latter, a fan was brought...
