Another bottle of tainted Tylenol
found in Chicago suburban store
CHICAGO (AP) — Another bottle of Tylenol
containing cyanide-laden capsules was found
Thursday by authorities checking bottles ordered
pulled from store shelves Oct. 2. Police Superin
tendent Richard Brzeczek said.
The bottle found at Dominick's Finer Foods in
Chicago "had a substantially larger number of
contaminated capsules'' — or more than 13 —
than did other adulterated Tylenol bottles, he
said
It was the second unsold poisoned bottle to
be found The cyanide that killed seven people
came from five separate bottles of Extra-Strength
Tylenol, and Brzeczek said it was his impression
that the new bottle was also Extra-Strength
Dominick's is a half-block from the Wal
green's Drug Store where the seventh reported
victim, Paula Prince, purchased her 24-capsule
bottle of the best-selling over-the-counter pain
remedy
Mayor Jane Byrne banned all Tylenol sales
Oct 2 at a news conference called to announce
the discovery of the body of Prince. 35. the day
before Merchants were asked to turn over their
stocks for testing
Brzeczek also called significant the fact
that the lot number on the newly discovered
contaminated bottle — MC2880 — was the same
batch that was found to have been taken by four
of the other victims All four people were residents
of Chicago suburbs
Brzeczek said McNeil Consumer Products
Co , the manufacturer of Tylenol, contracted with
a laboratory to test the stock turned over by store
owners He said the discovery of the latest con
taminated capsules was made at that lab Thurs
day. The previous contamination in an unsold
bottle, from Osco Drug Store in suburban
Schaumburg, was announced Oct. 1
Brzeczek said the new bottle would be tested
for fingerprints He said he was unsure whether
Dominick's had surveillance cameras
Meanwhile, police and FBI agents in New
York City said Thursday they were working on the
assumption that James W Lewis, wanted for
questioning in the Tylenol killings, and his wife.
Leann, were still in the city and continued their
search
The Lewises checked out of the Rutledge
Hotel on Saturday, where they had been living in a
$95-per-week room since Sept 6 The seven
people who swallowed poisoned Tylenol
capsules died between Sept 29 and Oct 1
"If he's in New York, we expect to get him, no
question," said Capt Eugene Burke
About 50 calls have been logged at two New
York hotline numbers publicized Wednesday,
some with leads that had to be followed up, but no
"hot" clues, Burke said
It was a photo of the bearded Lewis, wanted
on a federal warrant for trying to extort $1 million
from McNeil Consumer Products that led a hotel
resident to call police this week
After interviewing residents at the old hotel
on Lexington Avenue and checking fingerprints
found there, the FBI determined the couple had
stayed at the hotel, under the alias Richardson,
from Sept 6 to Oct 16
Redford puts protesting aside
takes up chalk and blackboard
PULLMAN. Wash. (AP) -
Tired of "nasty confrontations,"
actor Robert Redford is giving
up the environmental picket line
for a college classroom
“I'm too visible a target for
criticism It's a fact of life I was
slow in learning." Redford said
“My energy is better spent
training land managers who are
good stewards "
At the heart of Redford's new
approach is the Institute for
Resource Management, a
graduate fellowship program at
Washington State University
and the University of Idaho
In Pullman Wednesday to
meet the institute's first 20 fel
lows, Redford pleaded for
"graduates who take their place
in industry and make well
balanced resource decisions."
Don't just learn the facts.
Study the psychology of
science Learn to factor in the
environmental costs of
development Mesh those with
economic costs Find the
delicate balance," he said
Energy projects are bogged
down all across the country
because we can't seem to
bridge the gap between
development for the future and
preservation for the future,"
said Redford
"But we are moving out of the
industrial age and into a time
when computers are computer
izing computers," the actor
warned
"We need stewards and
leaders who can look ahead and
ask the important questions "
Institute graduates, he said,
will be able to look at "pipeline
projects, city sewer lines, power
plants and highways with a feel
for all sides of the debate and all
costs of development."
The first class, funded by a
$400,000 grant from Redford,
includes students who
previously worked as lawyers,
soil scientists, oil company
geologists, Sierra Club leaders
and foresters
Their studies will take two
years ..*»
I started out trying to get my
ideas across by talking directly
to the guy making the decisions
on a power plant or eight-lane
highway.” Bedford told
students during a field trip to the
Marmes Rock Shelter in south
eastern Washington
'But I got the General Bull
Moose attitude The guy would
dig his heels in the mud and we ■
wouldn't get anywhere. Facts
were distorted and debates
were far too inflammatory," he
said
The confrontations culminat
ed in Redford's fight against the
proposed Kaiparowits power
plant in southern Utah.
"That plant would have im
pacted five contiguous national
parks, but no one ever ques
tioned going ahead with it," he
said
"We got our point across, but
not without an incredible poli
tical backlash," Redford said
