Michael Jordan put it in a 1988 memorandum, "To paraphrase General Patton, the way we won those cases was not by spending all of Reynolds' money but by making that other son of a bitch spend all his." Liggett Group, for instance, spent an estimated $75 million fighting the Cipollone case in New Jersey; though the jury awarded the husband of Rose Cipollone, who died of lung cancer, $400,000 in damages, that verdict was overturned on appeal.

Her wealthy father, "the finest man I know," inconveniently remembers the $2 million that went to her 1994 campaign as a loan (there is a $1,000 limit), but that's because his memory is not so good. Anyone would have been fooled by Joe Waldholtz...
