BELL LABS/LUCENT RESEARCHER DID FABRICATE DATA.  The committee of
independent scientists investigating charges of misconduct in the way
certain Lucent experiments were performed or reported in scientific
journals issued its report today.  The committee asserts that "The
evidence that manipulation and misrepresentation of data occurred is
compelling."  They conclude that Hendrik Schon, but not the co-authors
on his many articles, falsified and fabricated data.
