Characteristically, Earle picked an interesting mix for the committee. One member is Ellen Halbert, a nationally known victims' advocate who in 1986 was raped, stabbed, beaten in the head with a hammer and left for dead.

"I had a couple of stocks that were doing so well that at the beginning of last week I decided it was time to sell them. But then the market started to die, so I'm hanging on to everything," at least until prices recover a bit. After 2 1/2 years in the market, Aimee...
Finally, nine months after the initial shipment error, Frederic Halbert, one of the first farmers to receive the tainted grain, had a Master's Degree in chemical engineering, and used his training to pinpoint PBB as the source of his herd's ailments. Halbert, suspecting that his feed grain was impure, sent grain samples to state laboratories.
