Late last week the defense of Neel and Chagnon gained momentum when University of Pennsylvania science historian Susan Lindee reviewed Neel's papers from the expedition and found nothing improper about the scientist's procedures. In an e-mail to colleagues, Lindee acknowledged that "if we wish to adopt an X-Files theory of history, we could propose that he planted these records, including the much scribbled on and often almost illegible field notes, in order to mislead future historians."

They include the Academy for Coach Training in Bellevue, Wash., and the Newfield Network in Silver Spring, Md.; both offer in-person workshops as well as teleclasses. Coaching's rise is just beginning, predicts Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, a research scientist at M.I.T. who studies workplace change. "It's a vehicle for the transfer of knowledge and skills. And in a knowledge-based economy, it will be increasingly important...
