Scanlon, John Patrick
▪ 2002

      American public relations consultant (b. Feb. 27, 1935, New York, N.Y.—d. May 4, 2001, New York), specialized in representing high-profile and often controversial clients. He worked as a press spokesman for various New York City government agencies and corporations before embarking on a career as an independent consultant. Among other notable clients, Scanlon represented the tobacco company Brown & Williamson and led its attempts to discredit Jeffrey Wigand, a chemist who blew the whistle on the company's efforts to make cigarettes more addictive. Scanlon also represented civil rights leader Jesse Jackson following the disclosure that Jackson had fathered a child out of wedlock, and he helped defend former senator Bob Kerrey against allegations of war crimes in Vietnam. At the time of his death, Scanlon was representing A. Alfred Taubman, the former chairman of Sotheby's auction house who had been indicted on price-fixing charges.
