         <title>Psychologist, Stanley Milgram, Back in the News</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Former Yale psychologist, Stanley Milgram, is known for his controversial experiments in the 1960s and 1970s that involved experiments with humans using punishment and pain to assist with learning. A French TV documentary recently used similar experiments based on Milgram's experiments to see what humans would endure to be on television. Read more on the <a href="http://bit.ly/bZYCPe">NPR website</a>. If you're interested, Yale University Library has Stanley Milgram's papers and video recordings of experiments for use in Manuscripts and Archives at Sterling Memorial Library.
