Research Is Hampered by New Limits on Death Records

http://j.mp/UO2X17  (New York Times)

   "A shift last year by the Social Security Administration to limit
    access to its death records amid concerns about identity theft is
    beginning to hamper a broad swath of research, including federal
    government assessments of hospital safety and financial industry
    efforts to spot consumer fraud."
