For anyone intererested in a more complete version of this remarkable story, try Bruce Flamm's recent report, "The Columbia University 'Miracle' Study: Flawed and Fraud", in the Skeptical Inquirer (September, 2004), It's long but has much fascinating detail. Get it on-line at:

As he notes:
"Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of this entire sordid saga can be summed up in one question: How did a bizarre study claiming extraordinarily unlikely and apparently supernatural results end up in a peer-reviewed medical journal?"
How, indeed. Flamm's answer: "We may never know."
