Owner of the Dallas Mavericks.

George Steinbrenner died of a massive heart attack on July 13, 2010.

Past speculations about his health:

In December 2003, at the funeral of his long time friend Otto Graham, Steinbrenner fainted, leading to extensive media speculation that he was in ill health.

In October 2009, a CBS sports blogger (see link below) wrote that it is no secret Steinbrenner was seriously ill. However, the Yankees protect his privacy so fiercely that it is rare to catch a glimpse of him anymore.

George Steinbrenner was the New York Yankees owner from 1973-2010.

George Michael Steinbrenner III, born in Rock River, Ohio on July 4, 1930, is Christian.

Steinbrenner's last name leads some people to think that he is Jewish, but he is Christian and of German descent. The former owner of the Yankees and CBS, William S. Paley, was Jewish. Hal Steinbrenner's daughters and ex-wife seem to be Methodist.

According to the article I just read, he had the heart of a Democrat as he spent tons of money in support of the party. He later supported Nixon's regime only in an effort to protect himself from retribution from the Republican Party for the wealth he had poured into Democratic support. Basically, he played whatever side benefitted him at the time.

The one business that Andrew Carnegie was known for dominating was the steel manufacturing business.

While there are many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) with the last name of Kennedy, the famous Kennedy family is not and has never been members of that church.

Eli Lilly, the founder of the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly and Company, married Ruth Lilly in 1884. Their marriage played a significant role in his life and business, as Ruth came from a prominent Indianapolis family. Together, they had three children, contributing to the Lilly family's legacy in the pharmaceutical industry.

VERY expensive products, limited choices, and ZERO customer service.

The question of responsibility probably rests on how much information regarding the risks to health smoking poses was made available to smokers and when. Once the dangers became clear, it may be said that the companies should have had a duty of care to inform their customers of the risks to their health, as indeed happens nowadays. The counter argument from their point of view may be that having made customers aware of the dangers of smoking, if the customer chooses to continue smoking, that is the customers decision and responsibility. The main point of course is, for how long did the producers know the dangers and not tell their customers? Did the industry in general act in such a way as to suppress this information whilst maximising profits? Once the game was up, the producers, realising their prime markets would begin to decline, then began to aggressively market their potential killer products to developing nations where there have been reports of free samples of tobacco products given to children. Such behaviour is rightly frowned upon but to the producers, its just good business. If this was a car manufacturer selling vehicles with a history of fatal brake failures and the facts were suppressed, the result may well have been a ban on sales of the car as it represents a danger to the public, both buyer and passer by and this of course brings in to play the subject of the effects on non smokers exposed to passive smoking.
