For the same reasons that aging Boomers are unlikely to embrace the palm-sized iPhone en masse, Sigall

Endo Pharmaceuticals Should Thrive As Boomers Age
Another drug stock that I really like is Endo Pharmaceuticals (ENDP) . Endo Pharmaceuticals is a midcap biotechnology company that is know for developing and selling pain management drugs and therapies.

Stark message
First-rate reporter Dan Horn of the Cincinnati Enquirer has a lengthy story in this morning’s edition about the recent — and rapid — decline of the religious press. His article centers on St. Anthony Messenger Press, but the Catholic Telegraph is also mentioned. The lead paragraphs are telling.

To the serious Trotskyite revolutionaries, it meant a violent overthrow of the government to be replaced by a communist “dictatorship of the proletariat.” To the less virulent “New Left”, it meant tossing out the sclerotic old guard (on the left side
