"Portland widow beats Big Tobacco"

"Portland widow beats Big Tobacco": The Oregonian today contains an article that begins, "The widow of a Portland janitor won her 10-year legal battle with the world's largest cigarette maker Tuesday when the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the tobacco company's appeal of a $79.5 million award." The newspaper also has reposted online this related article from February 1, 2008, in which I am quoted.

Today in The New York Times, Adam Liptak reports that "Justices End Tobacco Company Appeal."

In The Washington Post, Robert Barnes reports that "High Court Won't Take Up Award Against Philip Morris."

Warren Richey of The Christian Science Monitor reports that "Supreme Court dismisses appeal in tobacco case with $79.5 million verdict; The case was considered one of the most important of the current term because it suggested the justices were headed into a showdown with the Supreme Court of Oregon."

And law.com's Tony Mauro reports that "High Court Dismisses Philip Morris Appeal of $79 Million Punitive Damages Verdict."
