Today's New York Times had an interesting article on the continuing impact of Stanley Milgram's famous experiment in acquiescence to authority. In particular, there are two new articles about Milgram's work, one that determines the precise level at which the participants started to have qualms with the test and another that shows the continuing validity of Milgram's conclusions. It's always a interesting psychological milestone to go back and rethink every little bit (while listening to the Gabriel tune, of course).

Hah! I was also thinking of that tune the second I read the title of your post.
I love that range of studies. I tend to talk about them a lot in reference to our current government and it's rule by Republican Authoritarians.
