SMOKING OUT THE OPPOSITION
Lawyers for the American Tobacco Co. were granted a subpoena for the
membership list of a computer network used by anti-smoking groups. The move
to acquire SCARCNet's (Smoking Control Advocacy Resource Network) records
is believed to be the first legal action of this kind. The subpoena also
demands the names of those funding the network and copies of all posted
strategy sessions. Attorneys for the Advocacy Institute have filed papers
seeking to deny the subpoena on First Amendment grounds. (Wall Street
Journal 3/30/94 B1)
