On the front page of the BMJ right now:

Whatever the reasons, it is a sobering thought that Archie Cochrane's 1972 statement that we should use what has been tested and found to reach its objectives is as revolutionary now as it was then.

You must get a different version of the BMJ.

Mine has this on the front page:

First line:

Measles has reappeared in the United Kingdom, with
449 confirmed cases to the end of May 2006 compared
with 77 in 2005, and the first death since 1992.1 2 Cases
are occurring in inadequately vaccinated children and
in young adults, leading to concerns that endemic
measles could re-emerge.


ETA To be fair, it does cover the Flu issue as well. I wonder why you chose that particular paper over the measles paper to highlight, however.
