Bradley buyout spurns founder
European drugmaker Nycomed yesterday said it plans to acquire Bradley Pharmaceuticals for $346 million and take it private, thwarting a similar bid by Bradley's founder. News of the $20-a-share offer for the Fairfield-based specialty pharmaceutical company sent shares of Bradley up more than 22 percent by the close of regular trading. The deal represented a 25 percent premium to Bradley's closing price Monday, but was less than the $21.50 a share the company's chief executive, Daniel Glassman, offered in May. Glassman founded the company in 1985, naming it after his son, who now works as a sales executive in the business. But Glassman's control of the company weakened last year, when a Boston hedge fund launched a proxy fight that led to a number of concessions, including changes in the composition of the board of directors.
Disease made Karl Marx boil with anger
Karl Marx suffered from a skin disease that can cause severe psychological effects such as self-loathing and alienation, according to a British dermatologist. The father of communism’s life and attitudes were shaped by hidradenitis suppurativa, said Sam Shuster in the British Journal of Dermatology. One of its symptoms is alienation – a concept that Marx, a martyr to boils and carbuncles, put into words as he wrote Das Kapital. The condition was described as early as 1839 by a French physician, Alfred Velpeau. But, Professor Shuster says, ideas crossed the Channel less readily than wine and Marx’s true condition was never diagnosed. Hidradenitis suppurativa is a disease of the apocrine sweat glands, found in the armpits and the groins.
