" At the base of our involvement in research lies the trust of American people and the integrity of the scientific exercise." -- Al Gore

On the night of his 12th wedding anniversary, Andrew Friedman was terrified.
This brilliant surgeon and researcher at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School feared that he was about to lose everything -- his career, his family, the life he'd built -- because his boss was coming closer and closer to the truth: For the past three years, Friedman had been faking -- actually making up -- data in some of the respected, peer-reviewed studies he had published in top medical journals.

``It is difficult for me to describe the degree of panic and irrational thought that I was going through,'' he would later tell an inquiry panel at Harvard.
On this night, March 13, 1995, he had been ordered in writing by his department chair to clear up what appeared to be suspicious data. But Friedman didn't clear things up.

Here's some scientific integrity for you. The Corporations making chemicals which they know are harmful but yet hide the data and sell the products.
Agent Orange effects in Vietnam. God Bless America!
