What is the complete statement referred to in this quote: "There are
over 12 million Americans diagnosed with atherosclerosis, and
cardiovascular disease remains the #1 killer in the U.S. [If this]
drug proves safe, sales could readily surpass $1 billion.."

Hi crypto13!

From Barron?s Online -  Dow Jones Web Reprint Service:

?But if the AtheroGenics drug proves safe and effective, Morgan
Stanley analyst Steve Harr guesses that sales could readily surpass $1
billion (Morgan Stanley has served as investment banker for
AtheroGenics). "There are over 12 million Americans diagnosed with
atherosclerosis," says Harr, "and cardiovascular disease remains the
No. 1 killer in the U.S. and the developed world."

I especially appreciate Bobby7-ga's prompt reponse. I'd tryed to get
this same information through Barron's but was told I'd have to pay
over $60 to subscribe (just to get clarification on a line in an
article?)

Thank you for the five stars and tip!
