In @VanityFair David Sackler lamented “the way our philanthropy has been turned against us.”
About the many lawsuits, he said “I really don’t think there’s much in the complaints, frankly" vanityfair.com/news/2019/06/d…

I keep track of things and I like old books. The other day this old ledger caught my eye online so I bought it. I thought I could keep track of case notes. I like a little bit of history in my books. 
It was interesting because it was the ledger from the Canada Southern Railway Line and had been used in 1877. It was mostly blank so I bought it. The ad mentioned that some pages had been used.
When it arrived, it had old book smell but it was in great condition. I pulled it open and noticed the perfectly written script and math scrawled on the inside cover.
