Doug,
I enjoyed your site, and I have a question. I used to work for a company called Franklin Life. For a time it was owned by American Brands, which was a tobacco company. I had heard that someone wrote a letter to Mad, pointing out the irony of a tobacco company owning a life insurance company. I'd like to get a copy of the MAD with this letter, but I don't know what issue it is. It would have to be in the 1980's or late 1970's. Can you point me in the right direction?

John
