The "Five O'clock Follies" was the daily press briefing presented in Saigon by MACV that was always painting a rosey picture of the war and touting the body count of the day. The press began to report the truth of the war to the homefront after catching a ride to the field and seeing first hand the chaos of the battles.

What are some contemporary controversies related to heart disease and cancer?

Some might consider that there is a controversy over accepted medical therapies for the treatment of cancer vs "alternative" medicine for the same. There is none for me as I believe accepted, FDA and AMA approved therapies are the only treatments, but, the "alternative medicine" crowd is out there and very vocal in their beliefs. I am unaware of any real controversies relating to heart disease.l
