Depends who you ask, of course. But everyone seems to love a list and so
the latest ranking from a trade magazine offers an interesting - some
may say curious - mix of ceo's, politicians, regulators, scientists,
academics and trade group types.

There was no special ranking for controverisal, but Glaxo's newly
retired ceo JP Garnier got as high as No. 22 and Fred Hassan, who runs
Schering-Plough, was named No. 32. The FDA's Janet Woodcock garnered the
18th position, although her boss, the beleaguered FDA commish Andy von
Eschenbach, didn't rank at all. So much for making an impact, Andy. But
NICE chair Michael Rawlins ranked No. 5.

Who else scored? Carl Icahn shows up as 26th. Cass Wheeler of the
American Heart Association finished at No. 36. Merck's Dick Clark
squeaked in at No. 38. Oh, we almost forgot - Pfizer's Jeff Kindler is
No. 11, no doubt because he influences so many unhappy investors.
