Will drug companies write my papers?

No, really-will they. Cuz that'd be sweet. Now why do I say drug companies instead of, oh, English Majors? Well, according to JAMA it seems that they are more than willing to write them for academia studying their drugs. CNN has the shortened version of this and some discussion on it. One journal official who looked into it said: "The manipulation is just disgusting. I just didn't realize the extent." Merck counters that 5 of the 6 authors were involved in the Vioxx case against Merck. Slight bias. Great article. Less filling.
