One short paper , due Friday March 1 , should be 7-10 pages long and should represent a preliminary effort to identify and think through some of the questions you will be addressing in your second paper . " We will ask how the Victorian era shaped the novel , and how , in turn , the novel shaped what we have come to know as the Victorian era .

The company 's potential liability has already been estimated at up to $ 18 billion.Merck does have some strengths in the upcoming litigation that it did n't have in the Texas case.One of the cases is in federal court , where experts say stricter rules of evidence and testimony may benefit the New Jersey-based drug maker.Legal experts said some of the testimony allowed in the Texas trial probably would not have been permitted in federal court , especially the surprise testimony from a coroner that a heart attack could have led to the fatal arrhythmia . " That is the most important fact in this case , " said Sullivan.Cox-2 drugs inhibit the Cox-2 enzyme , which promotes inflammation , but protect users against stomach bleeding and ulcers , unlike other anti-inflammatory drugs.Agreeing with Humeston 's lawyers that the best evidence in the case was Humeston himself , Sullivan insisted his physical condition he had elevated blood pressure , was overweight and was under stress from a dispute with his U.S. Postal Service bosses triggered the Sept. 18 , 2001 heart attack , not Vioxx.She said there was doubt whether Humeston took the drug on the night of his heart attack , as he testified.Humeston had been given a 30-pill Vioxx prescription in May 2001 but did n't use it all because he said it was n't working for him .
