Champions of science or blacklisting bureaucrats?

Unconvinced that science could police itself against research misconduct, the federal government in 1989 created an Office of Scientific Integrity (OSI) within the National Institutes of Health.

Wofford-Thornburgh: a turning point for health reform.

The November 5 special election in Pennsylvania pitting appointed Senator Harris Wofford against former U.S. Attorney General Richard Thornburgh was a turning point in the national debate over health reform. Under the glare of media spotlights, Wofford mounted a come-from-behind victory over the heavily favored Thornburgh by trumpeting "national health insurance."

But the candidate's track record in Arkansas suggests the five-term governor is more comfortable forging consensus instead of leaping into the unknown.
