Talk:The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics

Relationship with Consumer Reports
Apparently the founder of this, Harold Aaron, had a 30+ year relationship with my employer, Consumer Reports. I would presume that somewhere here we have archival information on him and perhaps The Medical Letter. If I ever find anything I will try to share.

 * I think your recent addition to the article needs some editing. Aaron is only mentioned in the next section, so when you mention him, it's a bit confusing, because the reader doesn't know yetr what Aaron has to do with this article's subject. It's worse for Consumer Reports: why is this even mentioned? There's no apparent connection with the Letter. --Randykitty (talk) 14:30, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I deleted it. It makes no sense. The two people who founded the Medical Letter also founded Consumer Reports, and I heard a rumor that the Medical Letter was a spin-off of Consumer Reports. This was all in the 50s and I have no sources for any of this except the obituary I cited.
 * The Medical Letter was first published in 1972, which was also the year that Aaron left Consumers Union after having been there since its founding.


 * There is a thread here but I have no other sources. I think that Consumer Reports might have originally been the publisher of this, or that this is based on a Consumer Reports publication. Forget it for now - I am not sure where I would ever find a history of this.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  16:08, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
