Since then, the Cornell professor has been vigorously promoting an equally unorthodox theory about the origin of oil and gas. Nearly all geologists believe that petroleum is the product of ancient decayed organisms. Gold insists that natural gas is an inorganic component of the earth's mantle, as much as 200 miles below ground, and is continually thrust toward the surface by geological and mechanical forces. "When choosing a hypothesis," he says, "there's no virtue in being timid...
...written by the American media. Or here is a report about some statements made by (U.S. Under Secretary for Political Affairs Michael) Armacost and (U.S. Strategic Weapons Negotiator John) Tower in interviews.

The claims were never proved, but the companies settled rather than face an endless siege in court. American Motors has paid out millions of dollars as a result...
Just as A.H. Robins was filing for bankruptcy last week because of a product- liability case, another leading drug company, Eli Lilly, was having its own legal problems. Lilly, a maker of drugs (Darvon, a pain killer) and fragrances (Chloe), faced charges concerning Oraflex, a medicine for arthritis...
