Questions 14-15 In most corporations the salaries of executives are set by a group from the corporation's board of directors. Since the board's primary mission is to safeguard the economic health of the corporation rather than to make its executives rich, this way of setting executives salaries is expected to prevent excessively large salaries. But, clearly, this expectation is based on poor reasoning After all, most members of a corporation's board are themselves executives of some corporation and can expect to benefit from setting generous benchmarks for executives salaries.

After all, most members of a corporation’s board are themselves executives of some corporation and can expect to benefit from setting generous benchmarks for executives salaries.
some corporation is not equal to the same corporation
但是(A) in medical malpractice suits giving physicians not directly involved in a suit a major role in determining the damages due to successful plaintiffs 好象是说的具体个案,而不是定出一个通例吧?对一个具体案子就算定为非医疗事故,对这些physician今后自己可能卷入的案子也没有用啊?
