And there are more on the way he says are worth watching.

The two key drug launches this year are of Sutent, Pfizer's first big entry into cancer drugs, and Acomplia, the anti-obesity pill being developed by Sanofi-Aventis.

Sutent is already on the market, although sales data are not yet available.

Acomplia has been delayed at the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration and rejected as a stop-smoking drug.

Some cardiologists, who are excited about the drug because of its potential to reduce the risk of heart disease, are also worried about side effects.

Acomplia works by blocking the same brain receptor that makes pot smokers hungry; psychiatric symptoms like anxiety are one of the most common reasons patients stopped taking Acomplia in clinical trials.

"It's a pill that blocks the 'happy receptor'," worries Prediman K.

Shah of Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

"The main reason for concern is that it might have an adverse impact on depression or suicide." He is nonetheless very excited about the pill.

ADVERTISEMENT Frankie is Paradise's sole CPA.

He may even be the only one in the county.

The difference between the way Frankie looks in, say, August, and the way he looks during tax season in March and April is the difference between day and night, beauty and the beast, or Al Pacino in "The Godfather" and Al in "ba href=/insomnia/a/b." I mean, this man works until he drops.

I'm not the world's greatest judge of accountants, but it seems to me that Frankie knows his stuff.
