You can get a preprint of the paper if you go to Jerry Burger's cite (google
him, I don't recall the url).

Subject: [tips] Milgram's obedience experiment: replication
According to an item on CNN:
ww.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/12/19/milgram.experiment.obedience/index.html
American Psycholgist is set to publish in its January 2009 edition a
replication of the classic Milgram study. This is the one that no one
thought could ever be attempted again, given current restrictions imposed
by research ethics committees and the concern that the study may have
caused lasting harm to its participants. But it now has been done again,
by Jerry Burger at Santa Clara University, albeit with some tweaking of
the methodology to alleviate concern.
According to the CNN report, it finds that the original Milgram findings
hold up well today, almost 50 years later. We seem to be about as
obedient as we once were. Scary, isn't it?
I checked at the AP site, and the study doesn't appear to be out yet.
