...longest delays between crime and trial in the history of the federal courts, a jury in Raleigh, N.C., listened to an altogether different story.

Innocuously titled "Report of Expenditures," it was designed to explain how Cohen's federal research money had been spent. Trouble was, the copy shown Cohen was blank. He asked for a list of expenditures. No, he was told, other researchers customarily signed blank forms. Administrators filled in the items later. Cohen persisted, and was warned by the School...
