[Letter to Luc Montagnier from Jon Cohen]

I don't think it's moral that we receive money later than
Gallo. I think they are unethical rules. I'm really hoping this
will all end soon.
CONTEXT: LEARNING THAT BRU WAS CONTAMINATED WITH LAI AND THAT
3B IS REALLY LAI
It is important for scientific history, but not for AIDS
research.
Finally, in the third part of the story, I will focus on
Crewdson's coverage of Daniel Zagury. You made a point about
scientists being transparent that I like very much:
CONTEXT: CREWDSON'S STORIES ABOUT DANIEL ZAGURY
This is not very convenient for scientists to hear these
accusations. But we have to be transparent, especially in AIDS
research. Everybody can make mistakes. He tried again to cover
up this and that is not good. Scientists have to say the truth.
I would like to submit the main story today so that Science can
begin editing it. If you could phone me in the next few hours, it
would be most helpful. My numbers are below.
Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Jon Cohen
