The Des Moines Register writes about a researcher’s plea deal for faking the results of his AIDS vaccine research. The Boston Globe reports on a Harvard researcher who published false data in Nature. Anna Clark compliments both but laments that no one connects the dots in these stories: "In classic newspaper tradition, they are covering them as local stories rather than as data points in a national narrative, even though they cumulatively point to a larger issue."
