Allegations of Deception

After having thoroughly read Pasteur's lab notes, the science historian Gerald L.

Max Perutz published a vigorous defense of Pasteur in the New York Review of Books.

Famous quotes containing the word deception:

    A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there’s no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it’s an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
    Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
