Jane Mayer Quotes
As Scientists Linked Smoking To Cancer, The Tobacco Industry Was Under Particularly Pointed Attack, Which Might Have Heightened Powell's Alarmism. As A Director At Philip Morris From 1964 Until He Joined The Supreme Court, Powell Was An Unabashed Defender Of Tobacco, Signing Off On A Series Of Annual Reports Lashing Out At Critics. The Company's 1967 Annual Report, For Instance, Declared, "We Deplore The Lack Of Objectivity In So Important A Controversy ... Unfortunately The Positive Benefits Of Smoking Which Are So Widely Acknowledged Are Largely Ignored By Many Reports Linking Cigarettes And Health, And Little Attention Is Paid To The Scientific Reports Which Are Favorable To Smoking." Powell Took Umbrage At The Refusal By The Federal Communications Commission To Grant The Tobacco Companies "equal Time" To Respond To Their Critics On Television And Argued That The Companies' First Amendment Rights Were Being Infringed.
