The American Way

The FTC versus Amway 1979 was the trial of the century, but it ended in a defeat for Joe Brownman. Robert Fitzpatrick has been piecing information together about what happened that day 40 years ago. The founders of Amway were frequent visitors to Washington and went to dinners with heads of state. They got sat next to Alexander Haig, who you might remember as Nixon's White House chief of staff during Watergate.
