Josepha Cheong, M.D., an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Florida and chair of the APA Council on Aging, told Psychiatric News that the study impressed her for several reasons. For one, the researchers attempted to identify the interplay of a cluster of genes that may be involved in the etiology and clinical presentation of Alzheimer's disease instead of looking for the effect of a single gene at a time, which is more common. For another, she believes that the study "represents a continuation in the discovery of genes involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease." And finally, whereas the "research results may not be acutely clinically relevant, they portend significant possibilities for diagnosis and treatment."

Jennifer Babiarz, a University of Maryland archaeologist, was quoted in a recent Associated Press story circulated to newspapers in August. The (Raleigh, N.C.)

The NYTimesreported on Dec. 18ththat "When Susan Clancy, a psychologist at Harvard University, wanted to study people with memories of events that had never happened, she cast her net wide. So wide it reached galaxies far, far away. Have you ever been 'contacted or abducted by space aliens?' the newspaper ads she ran read.

The pattern of Mr. Ladner’s expenditures of University money is far outside what is normal and acceptable in a university community. Even casual research into academic compensation patterns will show this to be so.
