Polygraph Retreat
Science · 1999
Protests from 'scientists at the nation's three nuclear weapons research labs have apparently convinced Energy Secretary Bill Richardson to scale back controversial plans to polygraph some 5000 employees in a bid to boost security (Science, 3 September, p. 1469). But protest leaders are withholding comment until they see the new rules, which are due out on 1 November and reportedly cover fewer than 1000 people.
