AFTER 15 YEARS, BANZHAf;STILL IN THE NEWS

by David Danner

Fifteen years ago, a young attorney named John Banzhaf made the news by fil- ing a complaint with the Federal Communi- cations Commission, arguing that under the FCC's .'"fairness doctrine," any broad- caster who ran cigarette commercials had to 'provide-free of charge-an equal amount of air time to-anti-smoking groups. That complaint eventually led to an important U.S. Court of Appeals decision -and an end to cigarette commercials on television. Today, Banzhaf is a Professor of Law at George Washington University and still making the news, largely as a result of the activities of his class, Legal Activism.
