>From SLATE, 1/1/02:>The [Washington POST] fronts Anniston, AL, where people eat "Alabama clay," i.e., dirt, because they are so poor-and it's not even good dirt at that, contaminated with PCBs for over 40 years by the Monsanto Corporation. Thanks to a lawsuit-with 3,600 plaintiffs-"an unusually detailed story of secret corporate machinations" has emerged, according to the WP. In 1966, Monsanto execs discovered that fish submerged in a west Anniston creek "turned belly-up within 10 seconds, spurting blood and shedding skin as if dunked in boiling water." The managers kept this information to themselves. The WP story is littered with similar examples of Monsanto's reprehensible behavior.<
