The Financial Times reports that Elsevier has admitted an error 
in its publication of material covertly sponsored by Merck:

I wish Elsevier had not used the occasion as an opportunity to 
trumpet their "usual high standards."  Couldn't they find a head 
of corporate communications who said, "We made a mistake.  We are 
embarrassed.  It will not happen again."
