Join the Library Shop SD at the Neil Morgan Auditorium, San Diego Central Library @ Joan Λ Irwin JacobsCommon to celebrate the launch of an explosive, deeply reported exposé of Johnson & Johnson, one of America’s oldest and most trusted pharmaceutical companies. With No More Tears, award-winning investigative journalist Gardiner Harris lays out over 20 years of reporting insight into the company’s inner workings. Harris offers reams of evidence showing decades of deceitful and dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions: corporate cover-ups, safety concerns for products ranging from Baby Powder to Tylenol, and deceptive drug marketing that has risked the lives of patients and deepened the opioid crisis. The story of public health safety and corporate greed in the United States is the story of No More Tears.
“Gardiner Harris has done a great service, giving us a page-turning drama that raises life-or-death questions”
–Jonathan Eig, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of King: A Life

About the Author:
Gardiner Harris previously served as the public health and pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times and works as a freelance investigative journalist.
Harris also served as a White House, South Asia, and international diplomacy reporter for the Times.
Before that, he was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, covering the pharmaceutical industry. His investigations there led to what was then the largest fine in the history of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Harris’ reporting has also led to health and safety reforms for coal miners, the indictment of a corrupt police chief, and the withdrawal of several unsafe drugs from the market, among other reforms. A recipient of the Robert Worth Bingham Prize for investigative journalism and the George Polk Award for environmental reporting, this extraordinary journalist is now a San Diego local.
