Library hosts ‘Disappearing Landscapes’ program Oct. 4

The Delaware County Dis­trict Library invites you to a very spe­cial pro­gram enti­tled “Dis­ap­pear­ing Land­scapes” fea­tur­ing nation­ally known local artist Linda Wes­ner, who will dis­cuss her pas­sion for land­scapes, par­tic­u­larly those in Delaware County.

Tobacco firms sue FDA over new graphic warnings

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Four of the five largest U.S. tobacco com­pa­nies sued the fed­eral gov­ern­ment Tues­day over new graphic cig­a­rette labels that include the sewn-up corpse of a smoker and a pic­ture of dis­eased lungs, say­ing the warn­ings vio­late their free speech rights and will cost mil­lions of dol­lars to print. The com­pa­nies, led by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Loril­lard Tobacco Co., said the warn­ings no longer sim­ply con­vey facts to allow peo­ple to make a deci­sion whether to smoke. They instead force them to put gov­ern­ment anti-smoking advo­cacy more promi­nently on their packs than their own brands, the com­pa­nies say. They want a judge to stop the labels.
