The Good Doctor: Samuel EpsteinSamuel Epstein has been fighting the establishment for most of his life. As an 18-year-old student in England, he led a militant youth movement opposing the British presence in Palestine. As a rising young pathologist, he revealed that his boss's "cure" for a childhood disease was based on fraudulent data. Most prominently, Epstein has for several decades challenged the unwillingness of the "cancer establishment"--the major cancer research institutions as well as both government and private funders--to seriously address the environmental causes of cancer. "We're talking about high crimes and misdemeanors," he says. "From the public health standpoint, the cancer establishment's refusal to act on freely available information is tantamount to criminal offenses."

He is past: chairman of the Air Pollution Control Association Committee on Biological Effects of Air Pollutants; President of the Society of Occupational and Environmental Health; Founder and Secretary of the Environmental Mutagen Society; advisor to a wide range of organized labor, public interest and citizen activist groups; and President of the Rachel Carson Council, Inc.
