>Dr. McLean certainly presents an interesting hypothesis. As I

>Watergate pales in comparison. As this whole ugly mess is exposed to
>the light of scrutiny, however, I propose one change in the way it is
>being done: Rather than sharing his letters, I hope that Dr. McLean
>would consider sharing his evidence instead. If _Science_ has been
>biased, then quotations must have been compiled that show this bias.
>Give us the dates, page numbers, and quotations necessary to verify
>this for ourselves.
