"The Man in Black s1-3"

THE MAN IN BLACK – YOUR APPOINTMENT WITH FEAR FEBRUARY 5, 2017 GREYDOGTALES 1 COMMENT

Have you met the Man in Black? Has he whispered to you on the airwaves? Your radio is dead, and yet his voice is still there inside you, entreating you to join him… Yes, our Voice of Horror series is back, with a hero of the genre!

Long before Johnny Cash, the Tommy Lee Jones films or even Westworld, there was a single man who embodied the concept of the forbidding stranger, the archivist of the dark – the Man in Black. Can you recall his name, or remember his sepulchral tones? No? Then we shall help. Treats are in store, including some links to where you can listen to, or watch, him in action.

Along the way we bump into Shirley Jackson, Hammer Horror, GK Chesterton, Edgar Allan Poe, Dr Who, Sid James of Carry On fame and S T Joshi, amongst others. Is that enough names yet? For today’s article we must take you back to the days when you made radio shows by rubbing two sticks together, so a few reminders may be in order.

Dyall M for Murder

Valentine Dyall (1908-1985) was the true Man in Black, and it came about because of the BBC. In the 1940s and 50s, they aired a wonderful radio series called Appointment with Fear. This was a series of dramatised horror stories which both drew on the classics and also invited new stories from contemporary writers. Each started with an introduction from the narrator, the Man in Black, either teasing the listener about the nature of the tale to come, or warning them of the terror that awaited them.

Each show was about half an hour long. When Dyall started speaking, you knew you were in the right place. His voice was dark and distinctive (some called him the British Vincent Price), and he had a resonance which just oozed menace. Occasionally the actual story was less interesting than his narration. Between 1943 and 1955 he introduced nine series of terrifying tales, with one more series being narrated by his father, Franklin Dyall. He also narrated a single series of the Man in Black in 1949.

Before we say more about Appointment with Fear, we should mention Dyall’s wider horror credentials. He had a number of parts in film and TV over the years, in addition to his radio work, and his career was packed with the sort of media trivia that we so love.

For our younger listeners, Dyall played the Black Guardian in Dr Who between 1979 and 1983.

“The Black Guardian is an anthropomorphic personification of the forces of entropy and chaos, the counterpart of the White Guardian, a personification of order. The two Guardians balance out the forces in the universe, although the Black Guardian seems to desire to upset the balance in favour of chaos and evil while the White Guardian prefers to maintain the status quo.” (Wiki)

He took the lead role in individual episodes and in three linked serials, which some call the Black Guardian trilogy, playing opposite Peter Davison as the Doctor.

Well Hammered

We mentioned Dyall’s memorable voice, and in Hammer Horror’s film Lust for a Vampire (1971), the character Count Karnstein, played by Mike Raven, was dubbed by Valentine Dyall. He also appeared as the caretaker Mr Dudley in the outstanding 1963 film version of Shirley Jackson’s novel The Haunting of Hill House. Sometimes just known as The Haunting, this is by far the best adaptation, and still sends shivers up the spine.

Going further back, he played a key part, Jethro Keane, in the wonderful City of the Dead (1960). The film was known as Horror Hotel in the States, and is the tale of a young student who seeks information on witchcraft for her college studies. What could possibly go wrong when she travels alone to a mist-shrouded New England village to ask if there are any witches about? Especially when your professor is an intense Christopher Lee, and the man who gets into your car is Valentine Dyall? The usual hilarity ensues…

Two film oddities in Dyall’s career remain worth noting. The first is the attempt to transfer the Man in Black idea to film, again by Hammer. The Man in Black (1949) was a British thriller film which starred Sid James. Adapted from Appointment with Fear, Dyall provided the introduction to the film, as “The Story-Teller”. Sid James, who rose to fame in the British Carry On films, plays a straight role for once, with none of his yuck-yuck dirty laughter. It received mixed reviews, but is worth a look.

His other role, which links to our interest in detectives and will lead us back to the radio, was as Dr Morelle in Dr Morelle: The case of the Missing Heiress. This was another Hammer Film, and was based on the popular long running BBC radio series written by Ernest Dudley.

Ernest Dudley (1908-2006) wrote many tales of Morelle, a psychiatrist with an interest in criminology. In the radio series, the part of Dr Morelle was taken by the silky-voiced Cecil Parker, a stalwart of British period films. It’s well worth seeking out the old-time radio recordings of A Case for Dr Morelle, as the sleuthing doctor is incredibly annoying and condescending to his secretary, Miss Frayne. They’re greatly enjoyable in a sort of ‘God, I want to slap this man’ sort of way (and for some unlikely, if not implausible, deductions).

Appointment with Fear

So we’re glued to our radios again, and Appointment with Fear. See, we know where we are – sort of. John Dickson Carr, the prolific mystery writer, was responsible for a number of the original stories and for many of the adaptations of classic tales. Given the number of series, we won’t list them all, but here are some of the adaptations which Dyall introduced:

The Pit and the Pendulum – Edgar Allan Poe

The Cask of Amontillado – Edgar Allan Poe

A Watcher by the Dead – Ambrose Bierce

The Middle Toe Of The Right Foot – Ambrose Bierce

The Monkey’s Paw – W W Jacobs

Oh Whistle And I’ll Come To You, My Lad – M R James

The Beast with Five Fingers – W F Harvey

Markheim – Robert Louis Stevenson

The Hands of Nekamen – Kathleen Hyatt

The Yellow Wallpaper – Charlotte Parkins Gilman

Mrs Amworth – E F Benson

John Dickson Carr (1906-1977) was an American, and yet his detective and mystery stories were predominantly English tales, perhaps due to his English wife and the time he spent there in the thirties and forties.

He was the creator of Dr Gideon Fell, a larger-than life investigator modelled on the author G K Chesterton. Fell is a great figure, an eccentric, corpulent cape-flapping fellow – an amateur sleuth who sees through the mistakes of the authorities. He too was made into a radio series, this time played by another classic British actor, Donald Sinden.

Carr and Dr Fell probably deserve their own article on greydogtales, so we’ll keep this short. There were 23 Dr Fell novels, and Carr wrote many other detective mysteries besides. He also wrote an authorised biography of Arthur Conan Doyle (1949), and with Doyle’s youngest son, Adrian, wrote Sherlock Holmes stories for the collection The Exploits of Sherlock Holmes (1954). Whilst musing on this, we were surprised to find that S T Joshi, a major figure in weird fiction criticism and a Lovecraftian scholar, produced a book-length critical study of Carr, John Dickson Carr: A Critical Study (1990).

Most of the recordings of Appointment with Fear have been lost, but one of the few surviving episodes is an original Carr tale, The Clock Strikes Eight, originally aired 05/18/1944.

Another example is And the Deep Shuddered, written by Monckton Hoffe, an Irish screenwriter, and aired 20/11/45, which can also be found on Youtube.

The Rest of the Man in Black

After Dyall, others took on the voice of the Man in Black. Revived as Fear on Four, the concept ran for five series on BBC Radio 4 (1988-1992), with Edward DeSouza in the key role. A fifth series was broadcast in 1997, but with no Man in Black.

The most recent revival was with Mark Gatiss reprising the role. There were four radio series featuring Gatiss between 2009 and 2011. Whilst not as sepulchral as Dyall, it’s fair to say that Gatiss does have the ability to make ordinary things sound quite unnerving, so he wasn’t a bad choice. We covered Gatiss’ recent audio version of Dracula here last year:

Come Freely, Go Safely: Dracula Returns, Scott Handcock Rules!

Although we must have missed it, apparently The Return of the Man In Black was broadcast by Radio 4 as two Archive Hour specials in October 1998. The documentaries were presented by the acclaimed horror writer Ramsey Campbell, and covered the history of fear and suspense on BBC radio. During the programmes, two complete episodes were presented: The Pit and the Pendulum (from Appointment With Fear) and The Beast With Five Fingers (from Fear On 4).

Buried under names and trivia, we leave you with Valentine Dyall, and his reading of The Pit and the Pendulum.

Sleep well…

Healthcare CEOs take home some of the biggest pay packages in the world. Here’s what the industry’s top executives earned last year., Defence Online

Healthcare CEOs are some of the most well-paid executives in the US.

We took a look at the compensation packages of the leaders overseeing some of the biggest healthcare companies.

Here’s how much they took home in 2018, according to regulatory filings.

Visit Defence Online’s homepage for more stories.

Leading a top healthcare company is a demanding job – and one for which CEOs are handsomely compensated.

There’s a lot that can come with the job title, from overseeing tens of billions of dollars in market value to testifying in front of Congress and finding ways to serve both shareholders and patients.

We took a look at the compensation packages of some of the leaders overseeing the largest healthcare companies. Included in packages were salaries, stock, and benefits like retirement and other incentives.

The pay packages range from single-digit millions to north of $26 million. Here’s how they stack up.

Allergan CEO Brent Saunders, $6,624,473

Brent Saunders has been presiding over Allergan and its billion-dollar Botox empire since 2014, when a $66 billion merger launched the company as a member of Big Pharma.

Lately, though, Saunders’ tenure has hit rocky times. Allergan still turns out a profitable business in cosmetics and eye care, but competition is also shaping up in those areas.

David Tepper’s Appaloosa LP hedge fund has slammed Allergan’s recent track record, calling for an independent board chair at the company – a move seen as an implicit critique of Saunders. Allergan’s stock price was among Appaloosa’s criticisms: It has steadily trended down since mid-2015, losing roughly 50% of its value.

Saunders’ leadership also came under attack in 2017, when he spearheaded an ill-advised gambit to extend patent protection on a key Allergan eye product, and last year, when a strategic review didn’t change much at the company.

Allergan’s market cap: $48 billion

GlaxoSmithKline CEO Emma Walmsley $7,662,210

Emma Walmsley has led the British drug giant GlaxoSmithKline for about two years, overseeing a time of transition for the company.

Like many of its pharmaceutical rivals, Glaxo is on the hunt for profitable new products that can sustain it for years to come.

Walmsley, who last year was one of just 25 female CEOs in the Fortune 500, comes to the world of healthcare by way of Glaxo’s consumer’s health business. Before joining the drugmaker in 2010, the Oxford University-educated Walmsley worked at L’Oreal, the world’s largest cosmetics company, for nearly 20 years.

But Glaxo is increasingly plotting its way out of consumer health, including its iconic products like Tums and Excedrin, seeing those as incompatible with innovative new products, including in cancer. Late last year, for example, the company announced a $5 billion bet on the cancer drugmaker Tesaro.

Following the merger of Boots Alliance and Walgreens in 2014, Stefano Pessina became CEO of the global pharmacy company.

Walgreens’ stock took a hit in April after it missed its second quarter earnings and cut its forecast for 2019. The company has been inking partnerships with companies like Microsoft, Google’s parent company Alphabet, Humana, and Kroger at a time when rivals like CVS Health have pursued big-ticket mergers.

Gail Boudreaux is the CEO of Anthem, which offers health insurance under the Blue Cross and Blue Shield brand in 14 states. Boudreaux assumed the post at Anthem in November 2017. Prior to that, she served as the CEO of insurer UnitedHealthcare.

In January, Anthem let investors know it planned to launch its own pharmacy benefit manager ahead of schedule, earning praise from analysts.

“CEO Gail Boudreaux is clearly on a roll,” Leerink analyst Ana Gupte wrote in a January note.

Anthem’s market cap: $74 billion

Bausch Health CEO Joseph Papa, $14,741,050

Joseph Papa joined Bausch Health in May 2016, during troubled times.

Bausch was then called Valeant, and had weathered a number of yearslong scandals, including around aggressive price increases taken on Valeant drugs and one around accounting.

Papa, who had previously helmed the drugmaker Perrigo, had been wooed over by a generous incentive package of about $65 million. He had also been brought in to right the ship.

One name change later, it’s seemingly still a work in progress. Today, Bausch stock is one-tenth of what it was at peak, in 2015, and has actually declined slightly since Papa took over.

Bausch Health’s market cap: $9 billion

AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot, $14,780,288.24

Pascal Soriot started as CEO of AstraZeneca in 2012, joining from a long career in the pharmaceutical industry, with stints as an executive at Roche and the biotech Genentech, where he led its acquisition by Roche.

Soriot, who trained as a veterinarian and also has an MBA, notoriously fended off a nearly $120 billion takeover by Pfizerin 2014, aiming to turn the company around on his own instead.

On pay, we’ll leave it to Soriot to tell it in his own words.

“The truth is I’m the lowest-paid CEO in the whole industry,” he told The Times of London last fall. “You know, it is annoying to some extent. But at the end of the day, it is what it is.

“I am not going to complain, but me and Emma [Walmsley, CEO of GlaxoSmithKline] are the lowest paid in Europe and the US.”

Bruce Broussard is the CEO of Louisville, Kentucky-based health insurer Humana, which specializes in Medicare Advantage health plans for the elderly. He joined the company in 2011 and became CEO in 2013.

In 2018, Humana was at the heart of speculation about whether the insurer was going to work more closely with retailers like Walgreens or Walmart. Humana has had close relationships with both companies.

Ludwig Hantson joined Alexion in 2017, after a turbulent investigation into the company’s sales practices. He took over from interim CEO David Brennan.

Hantson came from leading the biopharmaceutical company Baxalta, and has been trying to control costs through restructuring, including laying off about 20% of Alexion’s workforce the year Hantson joined.

Alexion is also now bringing to market a new version of its most profitable drug, in hopes of staving off competition and extending patent protections.

A longtime Eli Lilly employee, David Ricks became CEO in 2017, after having worked in a wide range of the drugmaker’s businesses, including units in the US and China.

Ricks succeeded John Lechleiter, who before retiring had headed the drugmaker for eight years.

Eli Lilly is pushing forward in cancer, with a $8 billion acquisition of Loxo Oncology, but struggling to navigate pricing issues in diabetes, where it has a large portfolio.

The company recently announced a half-price version of a popular insulin, but critics have said it’s not enough.

The company makes medical technologies like insulin pumps, pacemakers, defibrulators, and other devices often used in surgical procedures.

Medtronic market cap: $111 billion

Merck CEO Ken Frazier, $17,643,087

Ken Frazier became Merck’s CEO in 2011, coming to the job by way of two decades at the pharma giant and, prior to that, a career in law.

Frazier has led Merck during a strikingly succesful, nearly decade-long period, which he credits in part to investing in research and development for new drugs. He recently hinted, though, that he may soon step down.

Already well-known in the healthcare industry, Frazier became even more prominent in 2017, when he quit President Donald Trump’s business council in the wake of Charlottesville.

One news outlet, comparing Frazier with a slate of other pharmaceutical leaders appearing at a recent congressional hearing on drug prices, even called him “the saint” of the bunch.

Robert Bradway came to Amgen in 2006 as the company’s vice president of operations strategy, from a roughly 20-year-long career in banking at Morgan Stanley.

He quickly climbed the corporate ladder, going on to work as executive vice president and CFO, and then CEO in May 2012. But just two years into his tenure, the pioneering biopharmaceutical company was struggling to grow and, in spite of a major restructuring that included big cuts to its workforce, facing serious criticism from Wall Street.

Amgen pushed through it. The stock has more than doubled over Bradway’s nearly seven years leading the company, and last year six of its drugs brought in a billion dollars or more. Amgen is also moving ahead with developing cutting-edge new drugs in cancer and migraine.

But challenges ahead remain, including the potential for new competitors on some of its best-selling drugs.

Ian Read became CEO of Pfizer in late 2010, and retired early this year, turning the reins over to current CEO Albert Bourla.

Read navigated the US drug giant through tricky times, including loss of patent protection for key products, and by most measures, successfully so.

Today, though, the drug company is striving to reinvent itself again, including by developing a portfolio of cancer drugs that it hopes will be worth $5 billion a year.

Johnson & Johnson veteran Alex Gorsky was named CEO in 2012. He took over from the pharma giant’s longtime CEO, William Weldon.

At the time, the company was reeling from a series of recalls of products like Tylenol because of poor manufacturing practices.

Consumer trust is again a problem for the iconic baby products maker today. It has been sued over claims that its baby powder is carcinogenic, and recently lost a high-profile case, with more expected to follow this year.

And damning reports from Reuters and The New York Times found that the company had known about these potential issues for years, sending the stock tumbling.

AbbVie CEO Rick Gonzalez, $21,271,869

Richard (Rick) Gonzalez took over as CEO after Abbott Labs, in 2013, split into two companies, one focused on medical devices and one focused on pharmaceuticals.

Gonzalez, an Abbott veteran, had retired from the company years before the split, facing a battle with throat cancer. Upon recovering, he rejoined the company to head its drug business.

AbbVie’s blockbuster rheumatoid arthritis drug Humira is the best-selling product in the world. But facing competition and scrutiny about Humira’s high price tag, AbbVie has tried to diversify, including with a nearly $6 billion acquisition of a cancer company a few years ago.

But the deal was a flop. The lead drug didn’t pan out in a key area, and AbbVie recently admitted that the biotech was worth $4 billion less than it had thought.

HCA Healthcare’s R. Milton Johnson, $21,419,906

R. Milton Johnson was the CEO of HCA Healthcare, a for-profit health system that operates 185 hospitals and 119 freestanding surgery centers around the US and the UK.

Johnson spent 36 years at HCA, becoming CEO in 2014. Johnson retired as of January 2019, but is a member of HCA’s board. Sam Hazen currently serves as HCA’s CEO.

When Miles White took over Abbott in 1998, he was the unlikely winner of a fierce, three-person race to be CEO.

White had previously led the company’s diagnostics unit, and replaced Duane Burnham, who planned to retire.

After Abbott was split into two companies in 2013, White stayed on as CEO of the medical device company. It’s been a successful streak, especially in recent years, with the stock roughly doubling since late 2016.

White has said he isn’t leaving anytime soon, but did point to a potential successor recently– Abbott veteran Robert Ford, who was named president and chief operating officer in October.

Gilead in July announced that Milligan planned to step down after 30 years with the company. He had served as president since 2008 and ascended into the seat of CEO after John Martin left the post in 2016.

Former Roche Pharmaceuticals CEO Daniel O’Day replaced Milligan as CEO in March 2019. O’Day came in with a pay package of about $31 million.
