Banzhaf had almost idly come across that "little loophole," as he calls it, while working at a Manhattan law firm. He was astonished at the response from the FCC, which ordered broadcasters to make room for antismoking...
...explained to us how important it was to keep things clean, and how difficult. She didn't really blame anybody thought, she said had no ill feeling toward Harvard. She only blamed the dirt itself, just as in Harvard's bust she didn't blame the students or the Administration, but only outside agitators.
