...many ways, the Great Coke Debate revealed something about the current state of the American psyche. In a world of ceaseless change, people cling desperately to the known and the given. The old Latin Mass is gone, the phone company has been broken up, Walter Cronkite is no longer on the evening news. Throughout those changes, Coke was always there, a misty memory from childhood, a rock of ages. "Certain things in our psychological environment have to stay constant because we're in such a changing world," says Dr. Bert Pepper (no relation to the soft drink), a New York...
...never before, the lack of attention to this issue is troubling. Additionally, it is downright strange, because the American media are usually fascinated by “whistleblower” stories of institutional corruption and deceit.

Turn on the television and you find news programs that talk about evil tobacco companies and how unhealthy it is to smoke. The media is ceaseless in its condemnation of smoking, and it’s become so politically incorrect that it is almost impossible to do—being banned in practically all public areas from office buildings to bars. Whatever smokers are left, they live in a world that looks down upon their very existence...
