Analysis of a whistle-blowing

The following article, published for completeness, was completed on 30 September 1987, was submitted to Nature soon afterwards, but never published.

Such supplementary data have indeed been submitted, but have been judged by the draft report of the Office of Scientific Integrity to have been fabricated.
