Brace Yourself (or not)

Blog readers will likely have taken note of a front-page article in the Los Angeles Times yesterday about a seeming scandal in orthodontics.* However, if you got past the headline, you will have noted a decided lack of clarity on exactly what took place. The article suggests that certain students were charged extra for admission, and that there was a report by a law firm indicating the payments were improper. There is a vague reference to the compensation system found in the health sciences.

Maybe there will be more revelations. Or maybe the whole affair will quietly dissipate, possibly with some monetary settlements.
