Delaware must be a hell hole for the rest of the people.It is a sad state of affairs,that has allowed this family to basically 'run' one of the 50 states of disunion.I do not believe it a coincidence that so many blood sucking corporations have their birth in the captured state of Delaware.It ought not to be this way.This transition is taking up so pages(45 more)I am forced to make this chapter 3 parts. The clan's true colors come to the forefront here,as they demonstrate what they do to political foes,'bad press',they make a Zionist lawyer Chairman of the board,and the ongoing cover up about the words Dupont and cancer begin...

.... The taming of such media storms as the State News and Behind the Nylon Curtain was still underway in November 1974 when the DuPonts were confronted by yet another rebellion, this time at the heart of their control over northern Delaware’s press: the News-Journal papers. During the previous year, reporters for the papers had confirmed New Castle County Executive Mel Slawik’s charge of property tax under assessments, including homes of DuPont family members, and although editors continued their disparaging coverage of Slawik, the papers also poked fun at such DuPont family affairs as the annual Holly Ball, a Christmas-time party for the debutantes of chateau country, with proceeds going to charity in the true fashion of noblesse oblige.

The reason for all this was John Craig, a veteran News-Journal reporter and Wilmington native who had worked his way up to replace DuPont Company’s Chick Hackert as Executive Editor after the latter’s death in 1970. Craig was backed for the job by DuPont in-law Richard “Dixie” Sanger, who was Christiana Securities’ uneasy appointment as president of the News-Journal. The board was reluctant to give Craig control of the papers, but Sanger insisted that Craig’s independence would help the papers shed their image as DuPont organs. Seeing the public-relations usefulness of this to win needed SEC approval if the desire of many family members to dissolve Christiana Securities was ever to be realized, Christiana’s chairman, Irénée DuPont, Jr., threw his support behind Sanger and the board’s resistance summarily collapsed, although Robert Carpenter, Jr., continued his criticisms.

Craig took his job seriously and wanted to put out the best newspapers possible. He brought bright young reporters and editors into the staff from outside Delaware, including three veterans from Pacific Stars and Stripes, John Baker, Curtis Wilkie and Bob Hodierne. Some of the older staff members resented the newcomers, but the NewsJournal, for the first time in its history, had begun to win many national awards. Wilkie was praised for his stories during the 1972 presidential campaign and the paper won the Public Service Award of the Associated Press Managing Editors Association. Although Irénée DuPont, Jr., forced the editors to print an endorsement of Richard Nixon by the owners (Christiana Securities) as a “View from the Top,” Craig’s insistence on independent news coverage reaped a harvest of controversial stories, including stories on the Nemours Foundation and Ed Ball’s use of the Alfred du Pont estate, an analysis of serious problems at the family’s brokerage firm of Laird, Bissell and Meeds, changes in DuPont’s pension plan, real estate dealings by Delaware Chief Justice Daniel Herrmann, and articles by investigative reporter David Walsh suggesting that Irving Shapiro had risen to power because no DuPont family member, including Irénée, was capable of doing the job.

It seemed a dramatic, refreshing change.
