The Corruption of Science

   I got a note from the editors of Harper's asking me to change my link
   to their story, which used to be to a PDF a friend had put up. I am
   delighted: Harper's has chosen to make the complete, unedited version
   of [1]Out of Control: AIDS and the corruption of medical science
   available on their web site directly to the public.

   They also note: The May 2006 Harper's Magazine will feature responses
   to this article from Robert C. Gallo, M.D. and representatives of the
   Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, along with a followup
   response from Celia Farber. Originally from Harper's Magazine, March
   2006. By Celia Farber.

   I can hardly wait. I'm already getting out the popcorn. Here's my
   prediction: their rebuttal will be long on attacks on the character,
   motivation, and career of every scientist quoted in the article, and
   will even try to condemn Harper's for printing it. Call it a
   hunch--leopards don't change their spots.

   (You should also read [2]this and [3]this after you've finished the
   [4]Harper's article.)
