FABULOUS SIXTY MINUTES PROGRAMMING linked here or below. If you did not see it you can get it online. I loved it and thought it was
so interesting. For those of us who feel that polio struck us but now
it's gone and to see a use for this monstrosity virus to actually help
possibly cure the emperor of all maladies as Siddhartha Mukerjee's book calls it is so inspiring to me.
Polio of all viruses that produced so much suffering in the 1950's and
now even elsewhere in the world that there actually is a use for it
makes me feel it was not in vain. Wonderful inspiring episode of 60 Minutes.

On another note:
HBO tonight has Ken Burns's PBS documentary on the history of cancer
treatment based on Sidarthartha Mukerjee's book. I bought Siddhartha
Mukerjee's "Emperor of All Maladies -- a Biography of Cancer" book
awhile ago and it is brilliant. Series is I think three or four
episodes.
