Working from a leak from the Supreme Court, the magazine published an account of the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion-rights decision just as the court announced it. Warren Burger, who was then Chief Justice, was infuriated and demanded a meeting with TIME's editors. A group of them, including editor-in-chief Hedley Donovan, came down from New York to the Washington bureau, where I was then news editor, and we arranged a dinner in the bureau's offices on 16th Street...

It caused all their blood vessels to leak and killed them within days, turning the birds, as one researcher put it, into "bloody Jell-O." Federal inspectors arriving at Pennsylvania farms found themselves walking through factory-size chicken coops struck eerily silent, with thousands of dead or hemorrhaging chickens at their feet. The U.S. Department of Agriculture ordered the extermination of 20 million chickens in Pennsylvania, more than 10 times the number that...
