Industry threats The Tylenol case inspired Kleinfield of The New York Times to review catastrophic occurrences that have struck other other industries. Predictably, one that came to his mind was the famous cranberry scare of 1959. That involved the herbicide, amino- triazole, which, the federal government cautioned, had been used in some bogs in Washington State and Oregon and was believed to be a cause of thyroid cancer in rats. Of course, sales of cranberry products plummeted all over and it took years for the industry to recover from the scare. The big distinction between the Tylenol case and the cranberry sfcare, of course, is that nobody died in connection with the latter, hi fact, it was not clear-cut that any laboratory rats had died. Eventually, the negative publicity had worn off and people again began to enjoy cranberry sauce, fresh cranberries and other cranberry products. Hopefully, for the sake of Tylenol, new packaging procedures will be adopted, and people again will buy the product for its merits, freed from the anxiety created by the mad individual(s) who poured cyanide into the capsules. Writing about the Tylenol murders, anthropologist Ashley Montagu seemed to suggest that such aberrations will be our lot until we transform "the jungles in which we live into those humane environments in which children are afforded the opportunity to grow and develop as humane, fulfilled, healthy beings, into people who are able to love, to work, to think and to ; Montagu is one of our favorite thinkers, much of our urban environment is but a step away from Hell and our society is, in many ways, conducive to kinky behavior. And we argue not against ameliorative steps. But we suspect that crazed, aberrant activity would exist on some level in the most humane, the most benign of societies.
