Scientist Gets $300000 Grant After Testimony Fallout
Harvard educated Dr. Peter Steinglass received a three year grant totaling 300000 to study alcoholism in families, awarded the day after he left the government. Steinglass had testified in a sex discrimination case denying his boss was his supervisor, a claim disputed by officials. His former boss Dr. Maurice Chafetz and colleagues deny improper intent while Steinglass asserts no link between testimony and funding. The article also notes widespread Medicare and Medicaid perversities in nursing home travel and a Navy-like Washington whirl about gifts to Nixon.
