Last week the Food and Drug Administration released affidavits given by Uydess and two other former Philip Morris employees, William Farone and Jerome Rivers, that threaten to push the tobacco industry farther out on a legal limb. All three men directly contradict the testimony of former Philip Morris ceo William Campbell before Representative Henry Waxman's 1994 congressional subcommittee. At those hearings Campbell, along with six other tobacco ceos, swore that he did not believe nicotine was addictive, and that Philip Morris did nothing to manipulate or increase nicotine levels in its products...
...cigarettes, according to government affidavits released today. Ian Uydess, former Philip Morris senior scientist, Philip Morris' former research director William Farone, and a former Richmond., Va. plant manager told the Food and Drug Administration that Philip Morris alters nicotine levels several times in the cigarette making process. Their accusations contradict the firm's sworn testimony before Congress in 1994. Then president William Campbell denied that the company controls nicotine or that the chemical is addictive. He also said that the tobacco is never blended to achieve a certain nicotine level. "The testimony of these scientists is very important," says TIME...

Foreign Minister Ehud Barak rules it out altogether. "Their objectives so deeply contradict the very existence of Israel that [conciliatory] gestures can only be interpreted as an attempt at manipulation," he says. "They will pursue terrorism as long as they can, and they should be answered in a determined way." In reply, "Ramzi" says, "One day we will force Israel to change its approach." Both sides should brace for new blows...
