Give the hunger-striker a break

Article Abstract:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) should seek an agreement with Walter Stewart and Ned Feder about their research on scientific fraud. Both are NIH employees, transferred away from their work after criticizing historian Stephen Oates. Stewart recently ended a 33-day hunger strike over the reassignment. The two have annoyed people, but their work is valuable. Even their so-called plagiarism machine is useful in ferreting out both fraud and self-deception.

'Nature' on the Internet (at last)!

Article Abstract:

The popular science magazine Nature will be launched on the Internet World Wide Web beginning Oct. 19, 1995. Plans are on to provide a different look from the printed text and make it compatible for video display. Published research papers will be given more space. Technical difficulties in illustration, and transmission and the security problems on the network need to be solved. Suggestions from readers will be taken into consideration.
