Praise  

"A great old-fashioned muckraking book of the grand order. This book should jolt and shock all fair-minded Americans and ought to lead to a congressional investigation..." --Jonathan Kozol, author ofAmazing Grace

"What an unholy collection of ruthless, vicious scum...Hudson's got some case histories that will make you weep--or vomit." --Molly Ivins

"Compelling... the public needs to know the facts and take action." --Rhoda Karpatkin, President, Consumers Union, publisher of Consumers Reports

"One of the most censored stories of 1996." --Project Censored
