Medicine, Science and Merck - Vagelos, P. Roy (The Johns Hopkins University) a Galambos, Louis (The Johns Hopkins University)

The authors trace the careers of a son of Greek immigrants as he mastered three professions and ultimately became the Chief Executive Officer of the pharmaceutical giant, Merck and Co., Inc. As the book shows, there was hope even for a wise-cracking kid living through the hard times of the 1930s.
