<p> SO LONG, NOBEL
</p>
<p> Did Robert Gallo, of the National Cancer Institute, really
isolate the AIDS virus in 1984, as he claims? Or did he culture a
virus found by French researchers and then mislead the
scientific community? A National Institutes of Health panel
ruled last year that there were no ethical problems. Now a
Health and Human Services report disagrees. It says Gallo didn't
steal the virus. But a single sentence in his 1984 paper
implying that no one could yet grow the French virus was ruled
to be deliberately false and thus scientific misconduct. Gallo
calls the report "incompetent."

<p> What's dumber than hauling 85 tons of Antarctic ice halfway
around the world to be showcased at Expo '92 in Seville?
Hauling it back again. The Chileans are doing just that, thanks
to environmentalists who railed against desecrating the frozen
continent. Never mind that the theft left approximately 100
quadrillion tons of the stuff still intact; the ice is now in
Valparaiso, soon to head south in an insulated container.
Antarctica will be whole--and the atmosphere will have to
absorb an extra load of pollution, the by-product of fuel burned
in shipping the berg back home.
