How do these literary " doubletakes " transform , distort , illuminate , or even mistake the works they are adapting ? The fire settled , letting down the black and charred papers ; a flower fell from a bowl , and lay indistinct upon the floor ; all was still ; and then a stray draught moved through the old house , passing before Oleron 's face . At the turn of the eighteenth-century , modern teratology - - the science of monsters - - was born . " I did not see a myocardial infarction ( heart attack ) , but it 's common knowledge that in sudden death the heart does not have time to undergo these changes , " Araneta said.Ernst 's wife , Carol , sued Merck , claiming that the Vioxx her husband took for eight months to ease pain in his hands caused his death.In later testimony Monday , Merck 's former marketing director testified that the company did not study how Vioxx would affect patients ' hearts before it went on the market.In a deposition taped in March but shown to jurors Monday , David Anstice said Merck " did not study Vioxx specifically for cardiovascular outcomes , " such as heart attacks , before the drug went on the market in 1999 , as scientists decided such testing was unnecessary.Anstice also testified the company 's million-dollar launch of painkiller Vioxx in 1999 was its biggest , most important launch ever.Plaintiff 's lawyer Mark Lanier has repeatedly referred to Anstice , now chief of Merck 's human health division , as a marketing guru bent on turning Vioxx into the multibillion-dollar seller it was to replace and even surpass revenues the company stood to lose in 2000 and 2001 when patents on other lucrative drugs were due to expire.Lanier also has singled out Merck 's medical manual , which says arrhythmia occurs in more than 90 percent of heart attack patients.Merck pulled Vioxx from the market in September after a study showed that it doubled the risk of heart attack if taken for 18 months of longer.Ernst was a produce manager at a Texas Wal-Mart who also ran marathons and worked as a personal trainer.Merck fought to prevent jurors from hearing Araneta 's testimony on the grounds that Lanier failed to identify her by name as a witness by the pretrial deadline , which the company said violated court rules on surprise witnesses.The 14th Court of Appeals in Texas denied the company 's appeal of state District Judge Ben Hardin 's decision that jurors could hear Araneta 's testimony . Then , for a moment ceasing to watch , he began to empty his trousers pockets and to place methodically in a little row on the mantelpiece the pennies and halfpennies he took from them .
