...stands, ADL's toxin lab-cumkitchen ware will remain in use, following last week's court decision to allow the company to continue its research while it appeals Cambridge's earlier testing ban. Ironically, the appeal, and thus the research, could go on for months or years, effectively and irresponsibly ignoring the concerns and efforts of the Cambridge community to come to grips with the situation. ADL's determination to continue its research at all costs during the appeal period speaks revealingly of its behind-the-façade concerns...

ADL, though it spent $1 million on developing the super safe laboratory, cannot shoulder the responsibility for a community's welfare. Then who will...
...little bit closer to home, officials at Arthur D. Little (ADL), a Cambridge-based research firm testing chemical warfare agents for the Department of Defense, have been trying to convince local residents that their research poses no threat to the community's safety. And Cantabrigians aren't believing a word they say.

Last month, a Middlesex Superior Court judge upheld Cambridge's ordinance, ruling that it was both "reasonable and enforceable."
