I for one will say that Dr. Diwan, and especially Dr. Seymour, are in fact over paid. They should get an middle class salary. Say, 100,000 a year. After all, they will be ridiculously rich after they get some 'cide all the way through FDA approval. Shouldn't that be enough?
Dr. Seymour says they can't get a good chemist because they're all going to Wall Street. Well, maybe Dr. Seymour should slash his salary and apply the cut to a big increase in the amount offered to a chemist. After all, the chemist will get the project done, Dr. Seymour just flaps his gums.
