Four-Way Test a Good Barometer
Thanks to George West for his mention of Linda G talking about Rotary's Four-Way Test in a presentation on the economics of integrity at the Rotary Club of Anderson meeting. His piece was eerily prophetic of the tragedy in Tucson that occurred later that day, January 8^th.

Supreme Court to Hear Arguments in Zicam CaseThe Arizona Republic (1/10, Alltucker) reports that a "Scottsdale-based company that sells Zicam cold and flu products will argue a case today before the U.S. Supreme Court that could shape what drug makers, medical companies and other businesses tell investors about their products." The article adds that the "case centers on whether publicly traded Matrixx Initiatives violated securities laws when it didn't tell investors that some consumers complained that they lost their sense of smell after using Zicam Cold Remedy nasal spray and gel swabs." Notably, drug makers supporting Matrixx Initiatives are "arguing that widespread disclosure of medical complaints from people who take drugs or use medical devices would confuse investors and consumers."
