爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Undaunted, Bok kept on. He now engaged Mark Sullivan, then a young lawyer in downtown New York, induced him to give up his practice, and bring his legal mind to bear upon the problem. It was the beginning of Sullivan's subsequent journalistic career, and he justified Bok's confidence in him. He exposed the testimonials to patent medicines from senators and congressmen then so widely published, showed how they were obtained by a journalist in Washington who made a business of it. He charged seventy-five dollars for a senator's testimonial, forty dollars for that of a congressman, and accepted no contract for less than five thousand dollars.

白话
博克没有因官司受挫而停手。他聘请了当时在纽约市中心做律师的年轻马克·沙利文，劝他放弃律师业务，用法律头脑来对付假药问题。这成了沙利文后来新闻生涯的起点，他也没有辜负信任。他揭露了当时广泛刊登的参议员、众议员为专利药品作证的“证言”，查清这些证言是由华盛顿一个记者专门兜售的：参议员证言七十五美元，众议员四十美元，且不接受低于五千美元的合同。核心是：要打击系统性问题，需要专业人才和持续投入，把暗处的交易链条挖出来。
上下文
博克在诉讼后继续调查，聘请年轻律师马克·沙利文揭露国会议员有偿为假药作证的黑幕。
