  5. Hi John,

    It’s been quite a while. I read the blog for the past hour and will be ordering your book in a few minutes—glad to see you have been productive! Your perspective is not disimilar from mine despite the difference in the size our our respective prior firms. Personalized Medicine is often the spin that is put on discovery programs whose original objectives are no longer obtainable–sort of like buying a stock for a short term trade and having to hold on as a long term investment due to its underperformance. Have a great holiday–give a yell for a round at the Cape…..Steve
