Below are the results of my search for articles related to counterfeit
pharmaceutical drugs, published in the New York Times, USA Today, and
the Los Angeles Times in the fall of 2003. Some of the articles from
these sites are free in abstract form, but must be purchased if you
wish to obtain the full text. Both the New York Times and the Los
Angeles Times require that you register online in order to view the

you may want to use a "throwaway" email address when you fill out the
