<P>Michael-- just look up the Zimbardo prison experiment on the Internet (it was done originally in 1971) and judge for yourself. Zimbardo has had a distinguished career and has published many books. He is an expert on coercion and thought control. Since your background is in the classics, what makes you an authority on this subject, anyway???</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Milgram was interviewed on Jim Lehrer show.
<DIV></DIV>>He is the author of Obedience to Authority based
<DIV></DIV>>to on an experiment he ran at Yale where he was an
<DIV></DIV>>Assistant Professor. (It should be noted that Yale
<DIV></DIV>>did NOT give him tenure for his work and he
<DIV></DIV>>moved to the less prestigous Graduate School of
<DIV></DIV>>City University of New York). But on the Lehrer
<DIV></DIV>>show he spoke NOT of his experiment but of the
<DIV></DIV>>so-called Stanford Experiment, different presumably
<DIV></DIV>>from his, Milgram's experiment of manipulating and
<DIV></DIV>>tricking temporary employess into bad actions.
<DIV></DIV>>Proving what? That those in authority can impose
<DIV></DIV>>themselves on others? Big deal!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>It is to their credit that the Yale Psychology
<DIV></DIV>>department denied him tenure for this work.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>(look at the book, Wayne, you'll quickly come to the
<DIV></DIV>>same conclusion). He subsequently received the
<DIV></DIV>>the annual sociopsychological prize of the
<DIV></DIV>>American Association of Science for this
<DIV></DIV>>research -- for the same work that the Yale
<DIV></DIV>>psychology department refused to give him
<DIV></DIV>>tenure for!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Wayne, is it that any nonsense you have believed
<DIV></DIV>>for 30 years ago is necessarily the truth?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>As for Zimbardo and his experiment at Stanford
<DIV></DIV>>when did this take place and where was the study
<DIV></DIV>>published? Zimbardo is not mentioned in Milgram's
<DIV></DIV>>index.
