E-DRUG: Use of survey data in advertising

This message was posted on several statistical lists, and sent to me by
a statistician friend. It should alert all who are interested in drug
promotion.

I am suggesting to Tom Jabine that he should send the exchange of
letters also to:

2. Sidney M. Wolfe MD, Director, Public Citizen Health Research Group,
