| | The Canadian government is studying plans to require plain packaging for all tobacco |
| | products sold there. US lobbyists argue that this would violate the free trade |
| | agreements that Canada has signed with the US. Lawyers for RJ Reynolds and Philip |
| | Morris swarmed into Ottawa and were compared by some critics to the soft-spoken, |
| | well-dressed characters from "The Godfather" movie. |

| | After Lawrence and Preston Tisch of P. Lorillard Tobacco Company and Loews Corp. |
| | gave $30 million to New York University, its hospital was renamed for them. Larry |
| | White wrote for Newsday that it was "unique in the history of medical philanthropy that |
| | donors gave not only the hospital, but the patients as well." And thoracic surgeon |
| | William Cahan wrote in the Daily News: "Naming a hospital after tobacco men is just |
| | too ironic. Around town, the University Hospital is becoming known as Lorillard |
| | General." |
