So why was this not publicized before this? JnJ obviously knew about it back in the 70s. Their baby powder is a very popular product which, fortunately, we didn't use on my daughter when she was an infant. But a huge number of people do use it.

BTW, I just finished listening to the Michael Lewis interview with Preet Bharara. It is brilliant. Really brilliant.
"The whole country needs a civic lesson." Lewis talks a little about Berkeley too--how ignorant people there about how government works even though they have lots of opinions about it (OK, I added that last subordinate clause, but he sort of implies it). I highly recommend listening to it. Geez, it gives me another book to read. They are stacking up on my bookshelf.

What is the Fifth Risk? (with Michael Lewis)
Michael Lewis is the author of fifteen books, including Moneyball and The Big Short. His new book, The Fifth Risk, takes on the Trump administration. He speaks with Preet about the dedication of the civil service, Trump's attack on trust, and the dangers of willful ignorance. Plus, Preet's take on Cohen's three-year prison sentence. Do you have a question for Preet? Tweet them to @PreetBharara with the hashtag #askpreet, email staytuned@cafe.com, or call 669-247-7338 and leave a voicemail.
