Note: They subsequently edited the article to fix the error, but it had read: "Avastin is a huge money maker. U. S. sates of the drug totaled $2.69 billion last year"- "sates" being the error, 5th paragraph down in the original draft.

Same issue with the next error- they fixed it in an edit. The original text, 4th paragraph from the bottom, read: "It's been very difficult for everrone. They are beatiuful and a sacred part of the garden. We're working very hard to figure out the problem."

He denied killing the dog but said he had moved Copper's body four times after finding him dead near the trailer he shared with Joanie Gonzalez at the Main Street Mobile Home and RV Park in Milpitas, next to the Ooh La Lodge[no period]

This is a stunning bellweather and not good news for any Republican who will run for Judd Gregg's seat in N.H.
From http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2009/03/31/DI2009033103020.html.
