WILL SHILL FOR NUKES
This week’s Spinwatch has this fantastic nib:
University of Texas Professor Sheldon Landsberger has admitted that
a pro-nuclear column he submitted under his own name to the Austin
American-Statesman was actually written by the Potomac
Communications Group, a Washington PR firm that works for the
nuclear power industry. “For at least 25 years,” reports William
Adler, an employee of Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee
named Theodore M. Besmann (who moonlights for Potomac
Communications) “has had published nuclear love songs in newspapers
across the country, under his own or others’ names.”
