First, thank you to Jo-D for the many hours spent newshawking and posting 
this huge multi-part series.

In a note called "To Our Readers" the editors of the series wrote: Unlike 
previous drug scourges, the meth epidemic is uniquely American in origin. 
Alarmingly, as a team of Bee reporters from Modesto, Fresno and Sacramento 
document in today's special 18-page section, "A Madness Called Meth," 
California's great Central Valley is meth's principal breeding ground and 
the place where the bulk of its victims live.
