ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS
A Long-Overdue Indictment In the August, 1963 issue o f the Reader’s Digest a most signifi cant article appeared, entitled, "The Cigarette Controversy — A Storm is Brewing.” For many months, now, there has been offered to the American public an increasing amount o f darriaging evidence concerning the evil effects o f cigarette smoking. Once again the public is being presented with factual information concerning the dangerous results o f this filthy habit. Early in this century the cigarette companies began to advertise more and more extensively in an effort to dispose o f their product.
