Dear Dr. Haritos,
	My colleagues in the Division of Environmental Sciences recommend
the following:
	Rosner, David and Gerald Markowitz. 1985. "A `Gift of God'?:the
Public Health Controversy over Leaded Gasoline during the 1920s." American
Journal of Public Heath. Vol 75:(April 1985):344-352. 

I know David Rosner personally and he is an outstanding historian. This
article is described as a classic. Also watch for a new book by Needleman
on the history of lead-poisoning due next year.

Good luck, and I would love to see copy of your syllabus.
