Ronald G. Ballinger

On April 28, 1989, MIT professors Ronald R. Parker and Ronald G. Ballinger gave an interview to the Boston Herald and alleged that Pons and Fleischmann had committed science fraud. After the defamatory story hit the newswires, Parker denied making such accusations. An audiotape of this interview, however, supports the Herald and its journalist Nick Tate.

For the full story, see Chapter 16 "Accused of Fraud" in Steven B. Krivit's book Fusion Fiasco.
