The Cigarette Papers: How the Industry is Trying to Smoke Us All
Jon Wiener's cover story for The Nation January 1, 1996 about the Brown & Williamson documents saga, and "the fight against corporate control of tobacco information." If the story of Stan Glantz and the Butts box shows it's possible to stand up to the tobacco companies, the capitulation of ABC, CBS and two dozen book publishers has ominous implications--and not just for smoking and health. Big Tobacco's intimidation tactics provide a model for other corporations that don't want the public to find out what they are doing: military contractors, oil firms, drug makers, nuclear power plants--all the companies that make dangerous or unsafe products or do things that are unethical or illegal.
