In Defense Of The Pipe Smoker
A spirited defense of pipe smokers rebuts a New York article by Hugh Mulligan.

It contrasts pipes with cigarettes and cites World Economic Research Institute data on Cold War era aid, noting U S assistance and Red promises, with concern over pro Castro sentiment in Latin America.
