Hi Jackie,
I never heard that one. Don't know if Monsanto had anything to do with
the Government experiments back in the 50's. They have a pretty good
track record of environmental programs as well as community service.
They have now spun off their chemical business into a company named
Solutia. The Monsanto company is now a life sciences company that is
into agriculutural products and pharmaceuticals.
I didn't realize that St. Louis University abolished their sociology
department. The Jesuits are not known to cave in to outside threats. :)
