I've found that no matter what you do, they'll screw it up, and in pretty
amazing ways. Someone remind me about the time I had a bit of a
correspondence with a local journalist about the 12,800 ton truck that the
USMC uses.
Best way I've found to do it is to ask to proof the article before it gets
published - which they never agree to, so that solves _that_ problem.
