520    Cornelia Dean draws on her 30 years as a science 
       journalist with the New York Times to expose the flawed 
       reasoning and knowledge gaps that handicap readers when 
       they try to make sense of science. She calls attention to 
       conflicts of interest in research and the price society 
       pays when science journalism declines and funding dries 
       up.--|cProvided by publisher.
