"Ex-Grace Officials on Trial in Asbestos Poisoning"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Ex-Grace Officials on Trial in Asbestos Poisoning": The New York Times today contains an article that begins, "A reckoning in one of American history's worst industrial disasters, which unfolded here over seven decades as an asbestos-tainted mineral was dug from the ground and processed, begins Thursday when five former mine executives go to trial on federal criminal charges." The "here" mentioned in the article is Libby, Montana.

Bloomberg News reports that "Grace Prosecution Over Montana Poisoning May Disrupt Bankruptcy."

On Monday, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer published an article headlined "Judge: Asbestos sufferers aren't victims; Witnesses affected by related diseases barred from trial." The newspaper says it first exposed the problems with W.R. Grace & Co.'s asbestos mining in Libby, Mont., in a series published in 1999.

And The Missoulian is providing extensive local coverage of the case. Recent articles are headlined "W.R. Grace & Co. trial: Molloy rules witnesses must stay away from courtroom"; "Defense request to move Grace trial out of Missoula denied"; "W.R. Grace: The trial - Libby bar undergoes cleansing"; "Cleanup crews have big effect on Libby's economy"; and "Libby's tremolite asbestos a different kind of monster." The newspaper also has this web page devoted to the case.
