When Dr. Judy Mikovits finished her presentation the room was silent for a moment, then one of the scientists said, \"Oh my God!\" The resulting investigation would be like no other in science. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For Dr. Mikovits, a twenty-year veteran of the National Cancer Institute, this was the midpoint of a five-year journey that would start with the founding of the Whittemore-Peterson Institute for Neuro-Immune Disease at the University of Nevada, Reno, and end with her as a witness for the federal government against her former employer, Harvey Whittemore, for illegal campaign contributions to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e On this journey Dr. Mikovits would face the scientific prejudices against CFS, wander into the minefield that is autism, and through it all struggle to maintain her faith in God and the profession to which she had dedicated her life. This is a story for anybody interested in the peril and promise of science at the very highest levels in our country.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKent Heckenlively\u003c\/b\u003e is a former attorney, a founding editor of \u003ci\u003eAge of Autism\u003c\/i\u003e, and a science teacher.
