simple majority of 16 votes sufficed to win a vote. In Banzhaf's notation, [Hempstead #1, Hempstead #2, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Glen Cove, Long Beach] are A-F in [16; 9, 9, 7, 3, 1, 1] There are 32 winning coalitions, and 48 swing votes: AB AC BC ABC ABD ABE ABF ACD ACE ACF BCD BCE BCF ABCD ABCE ABCF ABDE ABDF ABEF ACDE ACDF ACEF BCDE BCDF BCEF ABCDE ABCDF ABCEF ABDEF ACDEF BCDEF ABCDEF Banzhaf proposed an index, now known as the "Banzhaf index", to measure the power of each municipality: Hempstead #1 = 1/3 Hempstead #2 = 1/3 North Hempstead = 1/3 Oyster Bay = 0 Glen Cove = 0 Long Beach = 0 Banzhaf argued that a voting arrangement that gives zero power to one sixth of the county's population is unfair, and sued the board. Today, the Banzhaf power index is an accepted way to measure voting power, along with the Shapley–Shubik power index. Teaching Banzhaf has utilized a clinical-project format in some of his law classes, rather than a more traditional lecture and academic study format. Students are divided into teams and asked to work on some genuine consumer problems. One of the students' high-profile projects was a suit against former Vice-President Spiro Agnew seeking to force him to repay the bribes he accepted while Governor of Maryland. Agnew was ordered to repay the state the $147,500 in kickbacks, with interest of $101,235, for a total of $248,735. The project was started in 1976 by three students in Banzhaf's class on public interest law. The students recruited three Maryland residents to carry the suit. Another case that attracted much attention targeted the McDonald's restaurant chain. One of Banzhaf's students, James Pizzirusso, successfully sued McDonald's in 2001 for precooking their French fries in beef fat and not warning vegetarians and beef-avoiders about it; in 2002 he won a class-action settlement of $12.5 million. Tobacco Much of Banzhaf's tobacco work has been done through the non-profit group Action on Smoking and Health, which he founded in 1967. Television advertising In late 1966, John Banzhaf asked a local television station, WCBS-TV, to provide air time for announcements against smoking. The station refused, so Banzhaf filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1967. The FCC's fairness doctrine required broadcasters to provide free air time to opposing views of matters of public controversy. In his complaint,
