Green, Mark | June 8, 1985 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on white-collar crime in the U.S. Corporate illegality usually escapes major media attention, until its tawdry existence is rediscovered in a spate of shocked headlines, as though it were a new form of Legionnaires' disease. Such was the case in the past month, when an apparent corporate crime wave dominated the front pages. Paul Thayer, former chair of LTV, is sentenced to four years in jail for perjuring himself to a Federal commission over insider trading activities. General Electric admits it has defrauded the Pentagon by passing on bogus costs.
