Pharma 2020: Virtual R&D - Which path will you take?: Pharma 2020: Virtual R&D, the pharmaceutical industry is at a pivotal point in its evolution, particularly in relation to research and development.

The whole Trump/Russian connection started out as laundering money for the Russian mob through Trump's real estate, but evolved into something far bigger. ► In 1984, David Bogatin — a Russian mobster, convicted gasoline bootlegger, and close ally of Semion Mogilevich, a major Russian mob boss — met with Trump in Trump Tower right after it opened. Bogatin bought five condos from Trump at that meeting. Those condos were...
