Ken Burns presents CANCER: The Emperor of All Maladies

We've been watching this 
riveting film on Cancer
by Barak Goodman
presented by Ken Burns
on PBS the last couple of 
evenings. It winds up tonight.
Last night, it addressed the
Tobacco Industry's denial 
that smoking causes lung 
cancer and the medical 
efforts doctors pursued to 
uncover this relation; and 
the changes in radical
surgery and chemotherapy
to fight both lung and breast
cancer. Having lost family 
members to both these
maladies, this episode went 
right for the heart; and made
me really glad I had the 
strength to quit smoking. 
This is a must-see program.
