Subject: civil action coming Jan. 8 and some interesting websites
Civil Action, a movie about a cancer cluster in Woburn, MA will be
coming to movie theaters on Jan. 8. The book by J. Harr has been
on the NY times bestseller list for some time. Phil Brown's book
first published in 1990 and also about the Woburn, MA case
preceded Harr's by 5 years. Harr wrote the intro to the reprint
(1997) edition of Brown's _No safe place: toxic waste, leukemia,
and community action_, Berkeley, University of California Press,
1997. The upcoming release of the movie has spawned some
interesting websites that you might be interested in:
