...publicity caused a nationwide scare. One Chicago hospital received 700 calls about Tylenol in one day. People in Pittsburgh, Cleveland and other cities were hospitalized on suspicion of cyanide poisoning. Dr. William Robertson, director of the Poison Control Center in Seattle, offered some grim words of reassurance: "If it was going to be a lethal dose, you wouldn't have time to call...
...reputation and healthy sales. Analysts estimate that Johnson & Johnson sells be tween $300 million and $400 million worth of the analgesic a year. An $85 million advertising campaign has helped the company increase its share of the pain-reliever market from 4% to 37% since 1976. But the cyanide scare may do damage to the company's product.

Said he: "Those who incite disturbances must take into account bloodshed and jeopardizing of human life." Meanwhile...
...LikeItI Under the Stars," boasts this year's Ravinia Festival, the summer home of the Chicago Symphony. On the contrary, there is too much like it. When it comes to programming, major American orchestras apparently operate on the principle that what their audiences don't know will scare them away. The depressing result is coast-to-coast classical Top 40, a play-it-safe season of interchangeable concerts that is as stultifying as the humidity on an August...
