In a sparkling display of asininity, the National Institutes of Health has issued an "Official Reprimand" to its long-troublesome duo, Ned Feder and Walter Stewart, accusing them of violating a 1993 order to refrain from pursuing scientific misconduct.

With New Virology Institute, Gallo May Make A Fresh Start In Baltimore
The Scientist, Vol:9, #15, pg.3 , July 24, 1995
With a strong local support network in place to facilitate the transition, renowned virologist Robert Gallo anticipates a fresh beginning, both personally and scientifically, as his Institute of Human Virology prepares to open this autumn. The new institute, aimed at advancing the battle against AIDS and other diseases, will be linked with the University of Maryland at Baltimore. It seems that his colleagues - despite a few dissenting voices - are prepared to move past the allegations of scientific misconduct that have overshadowed his three-decade tenure at the National Institutes of Health over the last decade. In fact, many are backing him and wishing him success in this new venture.
