Merck & Co. Inc.'s outgoing CFO, Judy Lewent, gave the Newark Star-Ledger an interview on her departure. Among many comments, there's this: "The perception is we're too profitable when, in fact, it's literally earning its economic return to support the R&D effort and no more." And this: "Don't think about the next job. Do the job you have today to your best ability, and the rest takes care of itself."
