He is a political appointee of Clinton, brought in by Donna Shalala.

A case may be made for both approaches. Why not a compromise, e.g., putting more money where there is a clinical payoff in sight? Dr..Varmus is personally health conscious, a free wheeling spirit, he rides his bike to work. Good for a healthy body, and self concept. --------------CDA361D39BBE7206DE8EE0A4--
