Two articles and now an editorial!

For the 3rd day in a row _The NY Times_ is blasting the huge drug  
maker Eli Lilly for its fraudulent marketing practices of the  
psychiatric neuroleptic drug Zyprexa.

Two NY Times articles (one on the front page!) were followed by  
today's stinging editorial.

Links to the text for all three NY Times pieces this week can be  
found here:

_The NY Times_ investigation credits attorney Jim Gottstein, founder  
of PsychRights for providing their reporter with documentation of the  
fraud (NY Times even included a great photo of a smiling Jim).

Congratulations Jim!
