| Tiivistelmä: | Dow Chemical is a company haunted by its identities, past and present, of which there are at least three. First, there is the "traditional" Dow: the frugal, small-town chemical company founded a century ago. In this Dow, science is a calling in which one steeps oneself, as others are dedicated to art, politics, or religion. But there is also the "antagonistic" Dow - the Dow of napalm and Agent Orange. This is the Dow that bitterly fought Oregon housewives and Vietnam veterans over herbidice sprays, and still denies the links between those sprays and cancer. The third Dow is admirable and a little clumsy. It's the "learning" Dow, the company with a change of heart about environmentalism. |
