Perhaps some of you already have heard of this book by David Michaels, entitled Doubt is Our Product--which is basically the most comprehensive documentation yet of the war on science being conducted by private industry. But nevertheless, I want to emphasize again that you need to check it out if you haven't already. See my review here, Science Progress's interview with Michaels here, and, if you're in D.C., a Center for American Progress event where he's speaking tomorrow that you should attend. Basically, as the author of The Republican War on Science, even I found outrageous stories in Michaels' book that I had never heard of, and so grew ever more convinced that this problem of science abuse is systematic--going back to the days of the tobacco industry and becoming worse and worse over time.
