...scientific community is not alone in the kind of professional "pressure" cited by former Harvard-affiliate Claudio Milanese to explain his fabrication of the existence of interleukin-4a, an immune system stimulant. Science is unique, however, in that the research process is predicated on the myth of its autonomy from such pressures. Hence the shock value and significance of disclosures of misconduct. The scientific community is apparently not in need of preventive medicine for the misconduct of its members. Rather, self-scrutiny should determine to what extent such fraud is a problem in the scientific community at large...
...find such a strong cast, the Argentine impresarios Hector Orezzoli and Claudio Segovia searched southern Spain, the home of flamenco, for the best performers, rather than for glamorous people who could be taught the steps. The result, as in the Tango revue, is a largely middle-age troupe that, by show-biz logic, should cause audiences to snooze in their seats.

In place of egocentric storms there would be grace and lucidity; instead of anguish there would be serenity and inner peace. The masterpieces produced by such disparate composers as Brahms, Wagner and Mahler % under Beethoven's spell are justly prized, of course, but the romantics could have used a little less irascibility and more agreeability...
...court ruled, in a 10-to-3 vote, that use of the testimony would violate constitutional protections against self-incrimination because the men had not been read their rights. In a dissenting opinion, Justice Claudio Teehankee argued that to have warned such high-ranking officers of their rights "would have been ridiculous, if not bordering on officiousness and impropriety." Since his own testimony is the most damning evidence against Ver, last week's ruling is widely expected to result in his acquittal...
