   According to the [1]Press & Sun-Bulletin (NY):

     A second wave of legal claims seeking damages from IBM Corp.
     related to pollution in Endicott has been filed in state Supreme
     Court in Binghamton, bringing the total to more than 240
     plaintiffs, with more on the way.
     The 82-page document representing 151 property owners and residents
     was filed electronically late Friday afternoon by [2]Philip
     Johnson, an attorney with the Vestal law firm of [3]Levene Gouldin
     & Thompson. Johnson is part of a [4]team of seven law firms
     representing more than 1,000 clients in the massive toxic tort case
     against IBM seeking more than $100 million in damages for a range
     of hardships related to the pollution. They include cancer and
     other illnesses, property devaluation, loss of business, medical
     expenses and related monitoring, and hassles of dealing with the
     pollution.
     The [5]first wave of claims, representing 94 plaintiffs, was filed
     early last month.
