My conclusion that Ray Miller had mistaken the opinion of Judge Overton for a SCIENCE editorial was itself mistaken. I severely underestimated the extent of SCIENCE's coverage of the Arkansas trial. There are no fewer than three articles on it between 1 Jan and 19 Feb. I had assumed there were none. One of these seems to be a better candidate for Ray's reference. To be frank, I have to confess that I was all too eager to believe that Ray had made such a blunder. Anyway, I think he misrepresented the coverage that SCIENCE gave to the trial, and I'll post more on this later. Lew Mammel, Jr. ihnp4!ihuxr!lew
