praise for peter, page-6

there it is in black and white.

"He responded that he needs to be careful with his announcements".

He's trying to tell you. He's downplaying the announcements because Relenza (GSK) is about to be a DIRECT competitor with CS-8958 (D. Sankyo). He doesn't care about the relenza royalties, they're just icing on the cake, what matters is his relationship with D. Sankyo. He doesn't want to get his new partner offside. He wants the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I'd say he's doing a fine job. He may have fecked up the first time but he WILL not mess this up even if he must endure phone calls from dozens of Hotcopperites.
