Goldstone, a shortish and combative 52-year-old, is Big Tobacco's prime strategist. Last year he led his fellow C.E.O.'s into historic negotiations with their enemies, the state attorneys general who had made it their mission to take down Big Tobacco. Two and a half years ago, before he became president of RJR Nabisco, which owns R.J. Reynolds, the nation's second-largest tobacco company, he was just another rich Wall Street lawyer. But now that Goldstone oversees the production of Camels, Winstons and Dorals, it seems an article of faith among tobacco's foes that he pushes drugs to children.
