...Europe the anti-tobacco campaign is far less circumspect. The British Ministry of Health has put up more than a million posters. One says: "Why be another sheep? Before you smoke, THINK. Cigarettes cause lung cancer." Another shows a half-open coffin, with the legend: "The big Flip-Top Box for the Smoker." In Italy, all tobacco advertising was made illegal...
...Leibowitz made victory the harder and slower by a newspaper interview in which he described the jury members as "bigots whose mouths are slits in their faces, whose eyes pop out at you like frogs, whose chins drip tobacco juice, bewhiskered and filthy." The Alabama judge used the published statement as an excuse to postpone the trials.

"They might contract lung cancer." In the Senate, Kentucky Republican John Sherman Cooper declared, "I dislike seeing the United States, great nation that it is, chasing off in a grubby manner after Russian gold." In Coronado, Calif., Goldwater reversed his field, charged that the wheat sale, coming on top of the proposed joint moon venture, is fresh proof that the Kennedys are running "a Soviet-American mutual aid society...
