...composed three days before he died. Written in reply to a group of American artists, writers and scientists who had urged Stevenson to quit, the letter flatly contradicted what some called "the Stevenson tragedy."

Clorox, now backed by P. & G.'s marketing know-how and money, did not let the gains go unchallenged. It blanketed the areas with ads, offered $1 ironing-board covers for 50? and cut the price of Clorox...

He undertook, in so far as he could, to support a poor widow and her daughter, and in return for his kindness was occasionally permitted to share the widow's bed.
