more on genetic engineering

[Patrick Bond]

When Monsanto comes to South Africa to woo my NGO friends, they bring 
one Toby Moffett (sp?), who I recall was a Nixon Administration youth 
office staffperson temporarily turned radical and then a Democrat member of 
congress from Connecticut in the class '74. Now a big-time pr guy for 
Monsanto. Shame.
