Murder Incorporated
m
citing away with murder has been part and parcel of the
tobacco industry’s laissez-faire.
For nearly three quarters of a century the nicotine-
purveying giants have been indoctrinating the Ameri-
can public (and billions of over seas addicts) on the glories and
great feelings one can get from “lighting-up” with their products.
When radio became prevalent in the 1920s the tobacco giants
immediately seized on this mass-audience vehicle to broadcast
their propaganda. They coined enticing expressions, even posing
actors in medical garb as doctors telling you that “smoking is
good for your health.’*
They flooded the news and magazine media with print and
multi-colored ads stressing that the only fast way to lose stress
and gain equilibrium was with a few puffs on their killer products.
The moguls, by the 1930s were being classified as the “huck-
sters” because they controlled enormous advertising budgets that
commanded media attention as well as making publishers and
their advertising executives aware of the windfalls obtainable by
catering to the huckstering.
To further cement their penetration into mass markets, the
cigaretteteers used the movies. There were few movies made for
nearly three generations that didn’t show almost constant ciga-
rette smoking. Moreover, the killer-giants of tobacco even, with
the proper monetary inducement, displayed their brands as part of
the action in the movie, making certain that the camera constantly
caught the brand name.
When they developed their research

Hebron Jews, Supporters
Clash With Israeli Protesters
By Naomi Segal
JERUSALEM — Hebron has
once again become the focus of
violent confrontations, but this time
it involved Israeli vs. Israeli.
Scuffles erupted Sunday when
Israeli police prevented hundreds
of left-wing activists from reach-
ing Hebron, where the govern-
ment was sponsoring celebrations
marking the 30th anniversary of a
renewed Jewish presence in the
often volatile West Bank town.
The celebrations, part of events
marking Israel's 50th birthday, at-
tracted tens of thousands of Israe-
lis, pnmarily settlers and reli-
giously observant Jews who cite
biblical sources as justification for
a continued Israeli presence in
Hebron Most of the town is under
the control of the Palestinian Au-
thority.
Among the attendees were also
several Cabinet ministers and
Knesset members, along with Is-
rael's chief rabbis.
Hundreds of Peace Now activ-
ists, who view settlements as an
obstacle to peace, were stopped by
police on their way to Hebron,
where they planned to hold a dem-
onstration against any Jewish pres-
ence there.
Unable to drive into Hebron, the
activists disembarked from their
buses and began blocking the main
highway.
In the ensuing scuffles with po-
lice, some 32 Peace Now demon-
strators were detained, all but one
of whom were later released. Four
protesters and one police officer
were lightly hurt.
Police later allowed the demon-
strators to advance toward Hebron,
but did not let them enter the city.
Israeli military sources were
quoted by the Israeli daily Ha’aretz
as saying that the decision to pre-
vent the peace activists from enter-
ing Hebron was intended to “pre-
vent bloodshed between Jews.”
The High Court of Justice last
week ordered the association over-
seeing Israel’s jubilee events to
explain within 10 days why it had
provided funding for the celebra-
tion in Hebron but had not ear-
marked money for events planned
by Israel’s peace movements.
