...tide turned. Georgia Tech, having hastily withdrawn its fusion results the previous week for fear that its equipment was bad, made the reversal official. "I don't think fusion occurred," said embarrassed team leader James Mahaffey. There was worse news to come. The collaboration between Brookhaven National Laboratory and Yale, using an array of the most sophisticated equipment available, concluded its tests of cold fusion and found nothing. No other national lab had done any better. And on April 27, the British journal Nature, to which Pons and Fleischmann had submitted their paper, then withdrawn it when asked to give...
This new phenomenon of science by press conference disturbed many researchers. Said Moshe Gai, a Yale physicist and a member of the Yale- Brookhaven collaboration: "I am dissatisfied and somewhat disappointed with some of my fellow scientists who have done things too much in a hurry." Charles C. Baker, director of fusion research at Argonne National Laboratory, was blunter: "Calling press conferences and making claims of results without having a well-prepared technical report is not the way for a good, professional scientist to function...
Twelve years ago, Bonnie Garland, a pretty, upper-class Yale student, was murdered. Her estranged boyfriend went up to her bedroom one night and with a hammer cracked her head open "like a watermelon," as he put it. Murders are a dime a dozen in America.

Within five weeks he was free on bail, living with the Christian...
...violated its responsibilities to the alliance, stopped sending naval vessels on port calls there and suspended security guarantees and high-level contacts with the Wellington government. The treaty remained technically in effect, however, and the U.S. hoped Lange might come around. But last week, in an address at Yale University, he declared that New Zealand might soon officially withdraw from ANZUS. "Between the U.S. and New Zealand, the security alliance is a dead letter," said the Prime Minister, who was snubbed by Washington during his visit to the U.S. "The basis of the alliance was a commitment to consult. Consultation...
...last week the attack had escalated from a local tragedy into a morbid national obsession. Perhaps the story resonated across the country because the victim was a wealthy, white financier with degrees from Wellesley and Yale. Or because the scene was Central Park, the backyard of powerful news media and a symbol of everything Americans most fear about New York City. Or it may have been because of the word wilding, which seemed simultaneously to define and obscure the transformation of a group of teenage boys into a bloodthirsty...
