Column focues on corporations

[fran7371@uidaho.edu (John Francis)]

Those of you who think large corporations deserve closer scrutiny than they
normally get will appreciate the weekly column by two investigative
journalists that is described below.  It's free, and I've found it most
informative.

>causing injury, accepting welfare) widely considered criminal or shameful
>when done by individuals;
>
>* Trends in corporate economic blackmail, political influence and
>workplace organization;
>
>* Industry-wide efforts to escape regulation, silence critics, employ new
>technologies or consolidate business among a few companies;
>
>* Specific, extreme examples of corporate abuses: destruction of
>communities, trampling of democracy, poisoning of air and water; and
>
>* The corporatization of our culture.
