After 9 years, a tangled case lurches toward a close

Article Abstract:

A 1987 misconduct case against Parkinson's-disease authority James Abbs is still not over. The Office of Research Integrity overturned four not-guilty verdicts, and Abbs agreed not to appeal if he could rebut the charges in writing, but the ORI refused to accept his scathing attack on its integrity.
