No more anecdotes from the two scien- tists I’ve worked for (both pure scien- tists quite accustomed to peer review and being a part of peer review), one of whom told me that if his data were as shoddy as the secondhand-smoke data, NIH would laugh his grant applications out of the room, the other who told me there’s probably more science in “intelligent” design than there is in the secondhand- smoke studies.

By Jerome Pugmire ASSOCIATED PRESS NANTES, France — On a day that belonged to French cycling, Romain Feillu finished third to claim the yellow jersey Monday, and Samuel Dumoulin won the third stage of the Tour de France with a victory he hopes will heighten the sport’s image. Dumoulin was the quickest in a group of four riders that broke away almost from the start of the 129-mile route from Saint- Malo to Nantes. They were left to wage a tight sprint finish as others rolled behind. “It is a dream come true,” said Dumoulin, who rides for the French-owned Cofidis team. “It is hours and hours of training, braving the rain, the cold, the heat. It took a lot of sacrifice.” Feillu was just beaten to the Bas Czerwinski/Associated Press line and took the overall lead The pack rides along the coastline as they leave Saint-Malo during the third stage of the Tour de France from Alejandro Valverde, the between Saint-Malo and Nantes, in western France, on Monday.
