...serving as a bar. Three girls pirouetted violently on the dance floor while a frazzled frat brother nursed a paper cup. A collection of listless sorority girls loitered in the hallway, coats on as if about to leave. We sauntered past lots of rooms, some with people in them, none with anyone even close to making out.

...would have found it more honest - and none the worse, creatively - if Ms. Hegemann would have asked Airen for permission to so excessively use the stories," says Debora Weber-Wulff, a media professor and plagiarism expert at the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin.

Besides, Sanabria figured that if they turned in the money, higher-ranking officers would give his soldiers three-day passes, then start filling their own pockets. Wasn't that what always happened?

...article that the science in question here is faulty," Armstrong said via his website - one of the many swipes at the lab he's taken over the years. Bordry proposed a second testing, but Armstrong dismissed the idea, claiming the samples had already been improperly handled. Bordry would have none of it. "Scientifically, there is no problem analyzing these samples - everything is correct," Bordry argued in 2005. "If [a retest] had been clean, it would have been very good for him.
