Unheeded Warning. Kepone is a white powder that has proved potent against ants, roaches and potato bugs. It was developed by Allied Chemical Corp. in 1951 and manufactured, off and on, in Allied's plant in Hopewell. At various times, the company arranged with two other firms, Hooker Chemicals & Plastics Corp. of Niagara Falls, N.Y., and Nease Chemical Co. of State College, Pa., to produce it. Then in 1974 Allied contracted with Life Science, a new firm started by two former Allied employees, William Moore and Virgil Hundtofte, to produce the pesticide...
Unused Authority. Gilbert and eleven of his former co-workers are suing Allied and Hooker for a total of $28.9 million (since they are collecting workmen's compensation from Life Science's insurer, they are prohibited under Virginia law from suing that company). The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Life Science for four safety violations and fined the company $16,500, an action that the firm is contesting. Federal, state and local officials are also acting. The Senate's Agricultural Research and General Legislation Subcommittee will study the testimony at the hearings to determine...

...media image, of a loud-mouth braggart, sadist (particularly after the Floyd Patterson bouts), and racist white hater. Ali wants to present himself in another light, to offer the public the "real" Ali. He tells us of his early sex life, and his flubbing of a chance with a hooker when he was 16 because he didn't know what to do. He dwells on his shyness with women (a shyness which one suspects still exists). There's a riotous conversation with Joe Frazier which Ali taped in Frazier's car prior to their first fight. And then there...
Most reactions to the movie per se would be beside the point, because it demonstrates nothing about prostitution in general. Its story of good times in fancy bedrooms may be accurate for a few lucky hookers. But the unjust realities of the profession itself have been prostituted in order to sell the movie. It is in exactly this way that societies often abdicate responsibility for certain enslaved segments of the population, by deciding that these people are really happiest the way they are. This movie doesn't claim to present a serious statement about either the pros or the cons...
