BibTeX loses capitals when creating .bbl file - Natbib, Havard Reference style

Question

Yes, I know: It's a feature and not a bug. But it is a pretty annoying feature IMHO.

When I compile my LaTeX document into a PDF, BibTeX converts all capital letters in the title into lower case letters. I don't want this to happen. Ever. I copy my BibTeX code from Google Scholar and I paste it into JabRef. This is nice. I don't to make that extra step to surround my title with {}.

My document uses natbib. I tried several style files, including agsm and elsarticle-harv, which are supposed to be Havard Referencing style files. Havard however would not agree to lower the cases on USA.

How can I get rid of this feature?

In general, BibTeX just puts everything in the title to lowercase, unless you write it in braces. That is left alone. I.e., you need to write something like:

title = {On a Theorem Attributed
            to {N}ewton}

If several letters, all in braces:

title = {Critical Discussion
            of {I}nternet {RFC}s}
