If any of our pro-WPI editing crowd have problems with the New York Times coverage, please take it up with the New York Times. Ask them to publish a retraction. Until such time as the New York Times issues this retraction, it is verifiable that the lead investigator of WPI was unemployed prior to hiring and was introduced to the Whittemores by a contact she made while tending bar. There is no original research here, only agenda-driven deletion of verifiable information by individuals with patent conflicts of interest (patients/patient advocates) that is inconsistent with the goals of the encyclopaedia.
