Woburn case may spark explosion of lawsuits.(drinking water pollution in Massachusetts) Eliot Marshall. 

"The verdict set up a September 15 trial on the key question: Did Grace's dumping cause sickness and death in the town of 38,000 people? The case grew out of an apparently abnormal cluster of cancers in a town where complaints of strange-tasting water and sickness date back to the 1860s, when leather tanning was a key industry. "The plaintiffs and their medical cases are finally going to get a full hearing in court," said the Rev. William Flug of "For a Cleaner Environment", a Woburn group."
