Louis Alexander Soloff was a cardiologist and lecturer at Temple University in Philadelphia. He was also a tobacco industry secret lobbyist who was paid by the Council for Tobacco Research (CTR) not in the normal way -- which would have involved scrutiny by the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) -- but through the tobacco industry's secret Special Account #4 which was handled by the Ad Hoc Committee of company lawyers. This was to ensure that the scientist/academic remained 'untainted' and could be used as a witness in court cases, or present himself at Congressional or local ordinance hearings as an 'independent' authority.
