The Zonas and eleven other families agreed last week to accept a reported $8 million from W.R. Grace & Co., ending four years of litigation in which they charged that Grace had dumped cancer- causing wastes on land near a Woburn aquifer, polluting two wells and leading to six deaths. The settlement, said an attorney for the families, was a "recognition by Grace of responsibility...

Bowen and Friedrich relied on contributions from Boston Bureau Chief Robert Ajemian (Harvard), Correspondent Joelle Attinger (Wellesley) and Harvard Senior Robert Cunha. They were also assisted by Reporter-Researchers John Gallagher (Fordham), Val Castronovo (Vassar), Nancy Gibbs (Yale) and Zona Sparks (University of Chicago). Senior Editor Christopher Porterfield, a Yale graduate who edited the cover stories, discounts any talk of brisk competition between Harvard and his alma mater.

He lived a block from the Andersons in Woburn, Mass., a tidy community of 36,000 just a dozen miles north of Boston. In 1980 Roland Gamache, 32, was struck by the disease. He lived next door to the Zonas. In all, 19 cases of leukemia, five of them fatal so far, were reported between 1969 and 1983 within six blocks of the Anderson house in what became known as Woburn...
