George Weissman
The article on George Weissman, former head of the Philip Morris Company, includes a section in which he is said to have used the name George Lavan and had organized a civil rights committee In New York City. This entire section actually applies to another George Weissman, whose name was George Lavan Weissman, a long-time member of the Socialist Workers Party, who did organize a civil rights committee in New York City. He is not the same person, or any relation to, the George Weissman who was head of the Philip Morris Company. Oddly, the Nixon administration made the same mistake, when they added George Weissman of the Philip Morris Company to the Nixon enemies list and had him investigated for communist activities in the 1940s. The investigation turned up no evidence for this accusation. Please remove the last section of the article on George Weissman, since it refers to a different person with a similar name.
