  2. The 1986 Journal of the American Medical Association publication of the Edwards et al article provoked quite a reactive firestorm. The letters to the editor written in response (and taking JAMA editors to task for allowing the article to see the light of day) make almost as fascinating reading as the article itself. You would have thought Edwards had advocated the torture of little babies...oh, wait, those kinds of articles get only approving responses...
