In 1972, Hager was working for American Tobacco and he wrote about
ways to raise the nicotine levels in cigarettes.
The memo came up again during Hager's pretrial testimony this summer in a
Pennsylvania lawsuit against cigarette makers.
Hager says the memo answered a
theoretical question.
He also says that American Tobacco didn't control nicotine levels in its
products.

((It was a full state funeral the same sort of service accorded to the
two founders of India, Gandhi and Nehru, when they died.
Her coffin was borne on a gun carriage, the same one used for Gandhi and
Nehru, and flanked by soldiers from the Indian Army.
Thousands of people lined the streets along which the funeral cortege
travelled, some with homemade signs of goodbye, and flowers in her memory.
On the back streets of Calcutta, they watched it on TV, in those few homes
lucky enough to have a TV. The kids were doing their lessons, and the subject
was Mother Teresa.
William Rosario couldn't see the cortege in person because
he's got a bad leg.

Two thousand people, among them First Lady Hillary Clinton, attended the
three-hour funeral mass for Mother Teresa inside an athletic stadium.
A message from Pope John Paul the Second celebrated her love and passion for
the poor of the world, and noted the poor are still with us, and called on
others to continue her work.
The crowds were still there despite the monsoon rains, when the funeral
cortege returned down Calcutta's boulevards to the Mother House of her
Missionaries of Charity for a simple, private burial service.
It's expected that one day, the grave of Mother Teresa will become a shrine.
As the Pope noted, the poor are still with us, and with the death of Mother
Teresa, the poor of the world are infinitely poorer.))
