Re: IML: Hx of lead additive-a wee bit off topic

["jerryhesch" <jerryhesch@xxxxxxx>]

Speaking of lead additive, the topic is a fascinating read on the 
millionaire who developed it, the guy who relentlessly pursued the research 
on the dangers of lead additives-basically swimming upstream and having 
brick walls thrown up in front of him.  All this from my fading memory, 
though I am sure a web based search is easy.  I believe I read it in one of 
those Best Science Writers of 2004 or 2005.....I can't remember where I left 
my memory.  Sorry for lack of details but if interested it should be easy to 
search, yet a wee depressing a topic.
Isn't science wonderful???? Sorry, too much lead in me brain....
