I was in a grocery aisle. I had a moment of wonderment, gratitude, pride. I thought how marvelous it was that I could go get food that was nontoxic and not spoiled. I remember including in this thought that it wasn't just government bodies, but businesspeople and my fellow shoppers, all contributing to this happy feeling of security.

It was maybe a week later that the poisoned Tylenol hit the news.
