Baker read a 1998 study by University of Pennsylvania professor of social work Dennis Culhane that suggested that the most efficient solution to homelessness was to provide permanent housing to the "chronic homeless"--those helpless cases, usually the mentally ill, substance abusers or very sick--who will probably be homeless for life. The study found the chronic homeless make temporary shelters their long-term home; they take up 50% of the beds each year, even though they make up 10% of the homeless population.

He says that his superiors “told me to stop the research…in my best interests and in the interests of my career.” But Durakovic pursued his controversial research and found excessive amounts of U-236 in the body fluids and organs of his patients. Durakovic says that other physicians studying...
