My name is Dr. Francis B. Gross.

Again I invite you to join me as I travel through the world of the dead.

Several months after I completed my first study,

I realized that some of my original theories were no longer valid.

My optimism regarding life after death has greatly diminished.

Still there is one hope that our body suffers little pain

and that our mind will end on a thought unaffected by the fear of dying.

The ritual of commemorating the dead is a history which dates back to the beginning of mankind.

There is no group on earth that does not have some kind of ceremony

which acknowledges the death of a loved one.

Many extraordinary customs have resulted from man's realization of death.

In the 14th century people were hired to rouse the ghost.

Their job was to attempt to bring the deceased back to life.

This strange ritual eventually produced a practice of necrophilia.

By making love to the dead, it was believed that sexual arousal

would bring the spirit of life back into the body of one who recently died.

This custom of the Middle Ages led to a greater understanding on the finality of death.

As time passed, man realized that those who died would never physically return to life.

Religion then introduced another concept of death.

It conceived the belief that the soul or Holy Spirit travels beyond this earthly plane

when the physical being ceases to exist.

In some countries as Hamlet's became villages and villages grew into towns,

graveyards had to be modified to provide accommodations for the bodies of future generations.

Colonel houses were created to house the bones of the dead who removed from the cemetery

after a certain number of years.

Upon being blessed by a priest, the deceased remains replaced on display for loved ones to visit.

The time is 1981.

The graveyard still exists, but death has now become a multi-billion dollar industry.

Today a person can choose their style of wardrobe and in which manner they want to be secured for their eternal rest.

Shopping for a casket is similar to buying a car.

The more money you pay, the more lavish your coffin will appear.

The fee for a normal funeral runs about $3,500.

Of course you have to pay an extra fee for the embalming process and any necessary cosmetic touch-ups.

Funeral is lie at the very innermost core of life's experience.

It is a time of introspection where we honor and value fond memories of a person we shall never forget.

A Hindu cremation presents a striking contrast to a western burial.

The banks of the Ganges River are considered the most desirable place for the ceremony.

To prepare their dead for cremation, the body is bathed in oil and then was soap and nut powder among other preparations.

The Hindus believe that at death the soul is trapped in the skull.

Therefore it is imperative that the skull explode during the burning process.

The mourners of the loved one sprinkle holy water on the deceased and take purification baths during the cremation.

They also shave their heads in deference to the departed.

For the Hindu death represents a liberation of the soul.

Their ceremony of cremation ensures that the spirit of the departed will have the chance to be reborn once again.

It is one thing to witness the cremation of the dead, but the horror of being burned alive is a truly agonizing face of death.

The residents of this West German apartment building were the victims of the furnace explosion.

Within seconds their apartment became a burning inferno.

Although farming worked curiously to extinguish this out of control blaze, their efforts to save those trapped inside the building proved unsuccessful.

On that cold January morning in 1979, 18 of the 20 residents have occupied this building lost their lives.

Those who weren't asphyxiated by the massive amounts of toxic smoke were eventually burned alive.

This particular man suffered third degree burns on his hands, legs and face.

A special preparation was applied to the burned areas of his body to promote healing and reduce infection.

The

emergency tracheotomy had to be performed so that the victim could breathe.

Unfortunately even the advanced treatment administered by the burns and the specialists could not keep this man alive.

When the warmth of springtime begins to melt the snow, a new setting for death is created.

At any moment a disaster can occur capable of turning a beautiful panorama of natural magnificence into an explosive wall of destruction.

An

This white blanket of death is called an avalanche.

When the snow begins to rumble down the mountain,

anything in its path is instantly destroyed.

MUSIC

Benter Pass is located near the border of Austria and Italy.

In April of 1975, this high school

way connecting the two countries became the scene of one of the worst avalanches in history.

Before this disaster occurred, people had been warned not to use this brutal passage.

Road warnings have been posted and frequent radio reports of Monty's drivers of this expected danger.

But people didn't want to listen.

For many were on holiday and needed to return to either side of the border.

As a result, many vacationers decided to challenge this prediction and subsequently lost their lives.

MUSIC

In total, 50 people died in this avalanche.

A whole section of Benter Pass was buried under more than 14 feet of snow.

Some people never made it out of their cars.

Those who did had nowhere to go and froze to death while trying to escape.

MUSIC

Hypothermia is probably one of the most painful ways to die.

During this process, you literally freeze to death.

MUSIC

The whole disaster could have been avoided if these people had only heated the warning signs of impending danger.

Boxing is perhaps the most brutal of all professional sports.

Shear strength, endurance, and agility are the major ingredients of a winner.

Everyone who enters this sport dreams of one day becoming the next champion.

Their desire for wealth and recognition are great motivating factors in their quest for the title.

MUSIC

I was born for, and many nights I went to bed with an empty stomach.

I read were guys like Sugar A. Robinson, Joe Lowett, and all these guys were born in very poor areas.

They threw sports, they got recognition, they got respect, they traveled around the world,

and they got to do things that otherwise is what they've never done.

But nothing comes easy in life.

Doctors are so bragging, very certain. Three minutes in the radio, acrofighting,

they're much more difficult than two weeks of hard training.

What is the training that hardens the muscle and strengthens the fighter's endurance?

MUSIC

Another important element of this training is the fighting strategy.

He must learn how to throw a punch and how to protect himself at all times.

MUSIC

A smart trainer who would take time and teach gets a difference between coming in and going backwards

or taking more time to teach this kind of boxing, to be less, people getting hurt in the ring.

MUSIC

Spary marks the final stage of training.

During these sessions a fighter will learn to take punches and to test his own offensive skills.

Many percent of the boys are not in the physical condition for a doctor,

but they should be at the time they appear for a fight.

MUSIC

On September 19th, 1980, Johnny Owens and his managers felt he was ready.

The fight was a scheduled 15 round title bout for the Bat and Weight Championship of the World.

When Johnny Owens was knocked out for the second time on the fight, he seemed totally

disoriented.

As a doctor, he had seen obvious to me that the fight should have been stopped, but the

referee thought otherwise.

Prior to this fight, Owens had never been knocked down.

This time when he hit the canvas, he would never get up.

At the time, he had been thought, and no idea his devastating punch had sent us a folder

of money.

At 24 years old, Johnny Owens had subjected his body to such severe punishment.

He would never even realize he had lost his match, for this was to be his last fight.

As a doctor worked furiously to help Owens regain consciousness, the people surrounding

the fallen fighter knew he was in serious trouble.

The two knockdowns and the 12th round had definitely done their damage.

Before finally dying, Owens would undergo two brain operations and would be connected

to a life support system for almost his entire stay at the hospital.

After contracting a respiratory condition during his coma, Owens succumbed to the final

count.

If this youngster ever decides to enter the world of professional boxing, I wonder what

the future has in store.

There is a breed of men who enjoy taking their machines beyond the normal use of transportation.

The word impossible is not a part of their vocabulary.

When the odds seem totally against them, they are the first to tell you what it was.

These people are modern day gladiators, better known in our society as stuntmen or

daredevils.

The thrill of putting their lives in the line is not the key to their profession.

If you talk to any of these professionals, they will continually emphasize their own safety

as foremost in any stunt they perform.

But no matter how prepared they may be in their technical planning, the risk of death

is still something they must consider.

And yet the spectators who watch these events can never be really disappointed, for they

can share its success or scream at the results of failure.

I have watched the crowd's reaction when a stuntman has been unsuccessful.

In my mind, there is no doubt that most of them have felt a morbid fascination when

viewing a human disaster.

If you disagree with me, I'll prove my point.

Now it's your turn to be a part of that crowd.

On August 4, 1974, stuntman Bobby Pascow attempted unsuccessfully to jump 28 cars on

his motorcycle.

After hitting the last car, Pascow's body was hurled hundreds of yards on his cement

roadway.

Paramedics and track marshals tried frantically to save his life.

Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain, for Pascow died a few hours later.

As Pascow's wife held onto her unconscious husband, spectators tried to get a final glimpse

of the fallen stuntman.

There is no doubt it takes a certain kind of man to enter his profession.

If Pascow was ever afraid of dying, at least his end came quickly.

Chuck Strange realized early in his career that ramp-to-rap packs and cars and motorcycles

were becoming commonplace.

In late 1975, he found a Chevy dealer willing to supply him with pickup trucks to perform

his stunts.

He had finally found a vehicle that would make his act unique.

In November 1978, at the Ontario Motor Speedway, Strange attempted a ramp-to-rap jump with his

pickup truck covering a distance of 98 feet.

During this jump, Strange's truck was flying at a speed of 50 miles per hour after taking

off from a ramp angle 17 degrees.

His jump was just as prelude to a stunt he would perform on January 13, 1978, in front

of 59,000 people at the Houston-Haskerville.

During this jump, Strange would attempt to clear 16 cars.

What made this jump dangerous was that the dome sunk in a ring of four was not nearly

big enough for him to make a straight and level approach.

Earlier in the day during his last practice jump, Strange was unaware that he had peeled

back a steel shield underneath his truck.

As a result, his bent steel dug into the ramp a take-off and it caused his truck to

bear to the right.

It took 30 minutes to extra-cave Strange from the truck, but he was lucky.

The impact broke one of his ribs, bruised a kidney, dislocated his elbows, shattered

his forearms and broke his nose.

When doctors later examined Strange, they all agreed that it was miraculous that he had

not been killed.

It had been the third time in his career that he had heard this remark.

You can rest assured that when his injuries finally heal, this man will be back ready

to challenge death once again.

In 1976, Morrisburg, Canada was the site of the greatest car stunt ever performed.

This event was known as the Super Jump.

That man, Kenny Powers, would attempt the longest car jump in history.

His goal was to jump the St. Lawrence River.

The distance would be one mile, and eight and a half story ramp was constructed for his

rocket-powered Lincoln Continental.

Once the car would leave this ramp, it would sail one mile over the river and land on Ogden

Island in the state of New York.

His jump had been in the planning for over four years.

Over one million dollars had been spent, and 110,000 yards of dirt had been moved to construct

the special runway.

Kenny Powers would be jumping three times the distance evil Camille had tried to achieve

during his jump at Snake River Canyon.

Powers' car would reach a take-off speed of 280 miles an hour.

Within seconds, he would reach an altitude of 300 feet.

His body would undergo a force of over 30 Gs.

This jump had been attempted four times previously and had to be canceled.

This time, Kenny Powers knew there was no turning back.

Powers had his final prayers.

His self-confidence was high.

Any self-doubt or hesitation could cost him his life.

A helicopter roamed the sky while power speedboats and divers waited on the other side of the

river in case of a disaster.

As the final seconds stick to where a powers young wife became anxious, would this be the

last stunt he would ever perform?

Powers' jump was unsuccessful.

As rescuers reached the car, Powers was freeing himself from the special harness, but nobody

knew the extent of his injuries.

His car disintegrated in mid-air and landed in the river.

His wife and the crowd waited anxiously for news.

Powers was lucky.

He had broken his back.

This was nothing new before he had suffered the same injury seven times before.

As he was carried to the ambulance in the state of semi-consciousness, all that he kept

asking was, did I make it?

Is everybody pleased?

As the ambulance rushed off to the hospital, all that remained of this $1 million attempt

with the remains of a yellow-wock-of-powered Continental floating aimlessly on the banks

of the St. Lawrence River.

The dangers of reaching high altitudes aren't always confined to stuntmen equipped with a

rocket-powered car.

When Flight 2605 left Los Angeles for Mexico City, another air disaster was entered into

aviation history books.

As the pilot made his descent, he was informed that the runway lights had malfunctioned.

The control tower instructed the pilot to line up his jet over an alternate runway.

After the pilot reported he had done so, the control warned, you are at the left of the

track.

The pilot replied confidently, just a little bit.

He was tragically wrong.

As the DC-10 touched down on the runway, it headed towards a dump truck.

The pilot realized his mistake and tried to lift his DC-10 back into the air.

It was too late.

The plane smashed into the truck and veered wildly into a maintenance building and burst

into flames.

The final death count was 73, and the overconfident pilot was one of the dead.

The rugged peaks among Bargean and the country of Iran was the site of another air disaster.

It was the first crash in Iran's 18-year aviation history.

The first group of revolutionary guards to arrive at the crash site reported they heard

screams as they fought their way through the snow.

Many of the passengers on the flight were Shiite pilgrims returning from Assad after religious

ceremonies marking the death of the Prophet Muhammad.

Those near the crash site reported they saw a flash of light in the sky followed by a

loud explosion.

I wonder what prayers were said by the passengers as they realized their religious journey would

end on a note of death.

This Bengal state was the scene of another accident in the realm of public transportation.

This train was crossing a bridge over the fog of the river when six coaches separated

and derailed from the main engine.

It took rescuers all day to find most of the bodies.

Twenty-three passengers died in this accident.

Many of the people were trapped underwater and drowned.

Relatives or new passengers on the train went to the rescue center to find out about their

loved ones.

For some, the news of death caused tears and sorrow.

None of us ever really know when our end will come.

Every time we use any kind of modern transportation, we increase the odds of our own death.

Is there a solution?

I don't really think so.

When it's our time to die, there is no alternative.

On a typical day in El Salvador, fifty people are killed because somebody doesn't like their

politics.

When the leftist guerilla's hijack to bust, they staged their own execution against some

of the passengers who were government officials.

This unique footage was filmed by a UPI cameraman.

The only reason he was allowed to live was because the guerillas felt this incident would

be good publicity.

Their red revolutionary flag was placed as a warning to the military of Hunter and Power.

It has been estimated that a full-scale civil war, which will break out in El Salvador

in approximately fifty thousand or more, would die.

There is one out of every one hundred persons living in this country.

The violence that exists here is caused by two extremist elements.

The far right is comprised of the few who are rich in this country.

They are determined to maintain their wealth and refuse to yield to any semblance of compromise.

To protect themselves, they have hired death squads and supporters in the army to kill any

Salvadorians who are trying to change the country's feudal structure.

In this case, their protection faltered.

The

far left is headed by a hard core of fanatic Marxist-Leninist guerillas.

They are the killers responsible for this execution and will be content to create a civil

war within their country.

The five million Salvadorians packed into this land of gentle rolling countryside are

caught between the fighting forces and these two political factions.

Most citizens want to improve their lives but are not yet made the commitment to join

the violence themselves.

The war in Vietnam provided a battleground for weapons which created horrific results.

The napalm bomb was introduced during World War II and was used with great effectiveness

in Vietnam.

When dropped over playing, specially designed canisters released a jelly-like substance

that burst into flame upon impact.

This particular accident occurred when a South Vietnamese aircraft dropped napalm on an incorrect

target.

What should have been a jungle was instead a small village.

He said, here is to whatever it hits and burns with great intensity.

When scientists developed napalm at Harvard University during World War II, I wonder if

they ever expected a chemical would be used on people.

When this woman watched her baby burn to death, I'm sure she wasn't even aware that the chemical

napalm was responsible for her agony.

A cluster bomb is a 10-foot-long canister filled with hundreds of small shrapnel-laden

bomblets.

Dropped from a plane, the cluster bomb unit splits open in mid-air, spewing off bomblets

and saturating an area of several hundred square yards with steel shards.

These Lebanese children were the helpless victims of one such bomb.

His early bombers attacked this village in retaliation for Palestinian rocket attacks

that killed three civilians in the Israeli city of Naharia.

The small village of the Zia and Lebanon has always appeared peaceful, and one time

the village had been a pretty little collection of stone houses.

After this attack, more than 50 of the 250 villages were dead, and many of them children.

The village was reduced to a pile of rubble, which looked more like a rock quarry than

a place of human habitation.

The cries of grieving parents filled the morning stillness of the Southern Lebanese village.

There is never a reason to kill a child.

The morality has no place in war.

There is no right or wrong.

Any semblance of human compassion and understanding is substituted with the instinct to kill.

The enemy must be destroyed at all costs, even if he is a child.

It will be a long time before the people of this village ever forget this nightmare.

Aves like the one on the Zia can only deepen Lebanese hatred and earn new enemies for Israel.

The

Bible predicts the end of the world will start in the Middle East.

When opposing powers are unwilling to compromise and war becomes the only means to an end,

the hope for peace becomes an impossible dream.

If this continues, the prophecy of the Bible is certain to become a reality.

During the summer of 1957, the United States military conducted 24 tests at Yakuza, the

basic objective was to determine the physical and psychological impact of nuclear weapons

on troops in the field.

A few hundred troops were told to sit together.

Several miles away, a 44 kiloton atomic bomb mounted on a steel tower was detonated.

After the initial flash, the soldiers were instructed to face the mushroom cloud.

They would later report a sensation of great heat, what's like standing next to a blast

for us.

24 years later, some of these soldiers have been stricken with leukemia.

They believe the disease resulted from excessive radiation exposure.

Many of these men are still waiting to find out if they will be victims of a deadly disease

as a result of following orders 24 years ago.

The artist's survival plays another important role in the soldiers' training.

Killing game must be quick and effective, and no part of the animal is wasted.

When man can make a profit through the slaughter of a specific animal, he will kill without

hesitation.

The fur of an infant Persian lamb brings a high price in the fashion market.

Before this baby reaches its third day of life, it will be slaughtered.

Sometimes fine fur will be used to shield many of us from extreme cold.

Some consumers are not concerned about the origin of their purchase.

When they don't have a Persian lamb hat, most do not realize they are wearing the skin of

an infant to keep themselves warm.

This mink has been raised for slaughter.

Its fur will bring a high price in the fashion market place.

The fur coat has always been a symbol of both opulence and high style, as a result of a variety

of animals who have met their death to fulfill our greedy demands.

The man's wardrobe comforts are not the only cause for animal butchering.

This year in the United States alone, over 60 million animals will be killed under the

guise of scientific research.

A great number of the general public have led demonstrations protesting the inhumane scientific

research performed on animals.

Scientists look upon these protesters as sentimental eccentrics and feel their experimentation

as for the benefit of all mankind.

Although rats and mice constitute a large portion of animal extermination in the laboratory,

the most horrifying experiments have performed on our biological relative, the primate.

Thousands and thousands of monkeys have been named, mutilated, and killed in experiments

designed to help prepare the United States for World War III.

The most pathetic results occur when these creatures are subjected to drug experimentation.

Many of these monkeys are kept high for months, so their convulsive withdrawal symptoms

may be studied in detail.

PCP, commonly referred to as angel dust, should actually be termed the angel of death.

This victim, under the delusionary influence of PCP, caused a car accident which resulted

in the death of two people.

The drug driver didn't even know he was responsible.

On January 10, 1979, Level California was a site of a nightmare.

Two men under the influence of PCP would create a crime that the people of this town would

never forget.

Two men in the drugstore looked really weird.

The drugstore went to the phone and called the police.

When the assailants were attempting to flee, one was wounded in the crossfire.

With his accomplice trapped on the sidewalk, the other drug craze-curey helped police

obey by threatening the life of a hostage inside the store.

The police were killed by a man who was killed by a man who was killed by a man who was killed

by a man who was killed by a man who was killed by a man who was killed by a man who was killed

by a man who was killed by a man who was killed by a man who was killed by a man who was killed

Where was your crime?

Now, on to any part of the murderer, there will be a settlements affidavit from the defendant

Fuck you!

Shut up!

Come on!

Get over here!

Get over here!

Get in there, four!

Take the radio.

Get out!

When this young man awakens from his angel dust dreams,

he'll not only feel the agony of his wounds,

but suddenly realize he's been responsible for the deaths of two innocent people.

But what is even more horrifying to him is that he is secured a position among the condemned of death row.

The

Wilderness of America has always seemed boundless and inexhaustible.

Nature has always been the substance of our strength and inspiration.

The silence of the wilderness has been a place where we can cleanse our soul and reflect about our lives.

Over the past two hundred and fifty years, we have subdued a continent created by the ages.

We race from the age of industrialization into an age of anxiety.

Our cities began to replace the wilderness, and so began the birth of urban America.

With the development of the cities came new job opportunities,

and then came the people by the millions.

In production and consumption, we achieved a kind of greatness.

Becoming the most affluent country in the world was no easy task.

Just as the American dream seemed within reach, we found the limits of our American birth.

Today, every major city in America is afflicted with the problems of litter and pollution.

The air quality has become so severe that the cleansing winds of North America are now contaminated.

And what price will the next generation have to pay?

The air quality is the only way to make the world a better place.

The air quality is the only way to make the world a better place.

It is so severe that the cleansing winds of North America are now contaminated.

And what price will the next generation have to pay?

Scientists predict that if something drastic is not done about our environmental abuse,

within the next century, the earth will become a toxic waste lamp.

11,000 miles of American rivers and streams have been damaged by acid drainage.

As a result, thousands of our freshwater lakes are now dying centuries ahead of their time.

When the micro-organic life of a lake gives way to sludge worms in the smell of toxic chemicals, the area becomes unlivable.

Our oceans are in no better shape. A million tons of oil are spilled at sea each year.

More than 10 billion tons are dumped into bays that run into the sea.

This abuse means death for the creatures inhabiting this environment.

America comprises 6% of the world's population, yet we consume 50% of all its goods and services.

There was a whole industry in this country dedicated to the removal of our garbage.

Over half a million tons of garbage is thrown away each day, 365 days a year.

Our war against nature can only end in total human devastation.

Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick once wrote,

the point is whether the whale can long endure so wide a chase, so remorseless a habit.

Whether he must not have last been exterminated from the waters,

and the last whale like the last man smoked the last pipe, and then himself evaporated from the final pump.

Another Tranquilq auction did not even drag Mr.

Pick up the floating beasts.

The world population of the blue whale has dropped in the past 30 years from 100,000 to under a thousand.

There are also other species of whales that face extinction.

Even with this threat, there is still a demand for its meat.

But some countries throughout the world are trying to protect this creature.

The whale pirate respects no international laws.

As long as he is paid for his bounty, there is no safe hiding place for this giant of the ocean.

Today, nearly every product derived from the whale can be synthetically produced.

But some countries still view the whale as a cheap and profitable commodity.

Stuart Hidal, former Secretary of the Interior, stated,

this decade may go down in history as marking the end of life for the largest animal ever to inhabit this Earth.

Here we go, Mike. We are leaving now but before.

Because of its superior intelligence, the dolphin has been trained to perform various tricks in marine parts all over the world.

Dolphins possess their own unique language.

Dr. John Lilly has studied these mammals for the past two decades,

and he firmly believes that man and dolphin will one day communicate.

Once this language barrier has been overcome,

Lilly has convinced that dolphins will teach mankind about the unanswered mysteries of the sea.

These particular men are not concerned with the dolphins' intelligence.

They simply hunt these mammals for food.

On November 6th through the 8th in 1978, in diesel Japan,

the slaughter of hundreds of dolphins took place.

After this nightmare, I wonder if the dolphin will still consider man his friend.

The menu of mankind is not limited to just a lower beast.

Some men consume their own neighbors.

Deep within the jungles of New Guinea reside a group of natives known as the Countable Kings.

Here the Countables are known to be the most important species of the species.

Here the Countables are in a constant struggle against the elements,

other hostile tribes, and an assortment of rare tropical diseases.

In the war axis, the elders listened to a recent dispute in the village.

When an argument began between a warrior and his wife,

their dispute ended in violence.

After hitting her on the head with an axe, the husband tells the elder,

his woman got off lightly. She is lucky to be alive.

The elder agrees that respect must be maintained.

Violence for these people is a way of life.

The elder agrees that respect must be maintained.

Yes, yes.

Yes.

This woman has an extra joint to serve as a lifelong reminder of an armed,

fractured, and some long forgotten family brawl.

But modern medicine sometimes enters the lives of these people.

The slough-wing, tropical climate breeds a series of skin diseases.

With the aid of sophisticated drugs, total recovery becomes possible.

This youngster's skin shows like patches.

The first one is a little more than a hundred years ago.

This youngster's skin shows like patches.

The first telltale signs of leprosy.

Yours is a vicious skin disease which eventually disfigures his victims.

With a single injection of penicillin, this horde disease can be brought under control.

Unfortunately, for this victim, help came too late.

This woman wears the foot of her dead husband.

When he died, the villagers ate the man, hoping that his traits would be passed on.

Since medical science is often unavailable to these people, many of these children will never reach adulthood.

Here in Cambodia, medical services are available.

But even with the help of medical science, there are some diseases that still rage out of control.

Leprosy is termed the disease of the living dead.

Its effects are irreversible and devastating.

With the aid of modern medicine, doctors can now prescribe drugs which can stop this disease from spreading,

while alleviating its agonizing pain.

Medical science is making major advances in certain areas of disease control.

With the aid of a microscope, doctors are now able to diagnose cancer in its early stages.

Since this disease has so many variations and is capable of attacking any area of the body,

doctors cannot always cure those who are afflicted with this dreadful illness.

This particular victim died of intestinal cancer.

When these pathologies complete as autopsy, various specimens will be sent to numerous research laboratories.

Here scientists will continue to search for answers to a disease which kills thousands each year.

Some forms of cancer can be surgically removed with the use of a highly sophisticated operation called microsurgery.

Using miniature isurgical instruments incorporated with a system of fiber optics,

the surgeon can view and remove tumors growing deep within the throat of the patient.

With the cancer removed, this patient has been granted a new lease on life.

Walter Johnson is a collector of Western memorabilia, and death has a special place in his collection.

Well really, almost all my life I've been interested in the old west, mainly California history and civil war,

in that era, and I've collected guns for several years, and Indian artifacts and Western artifacts.

I believe my prize is my buddy here, old Wauke, Murietta.

He was a California bandit, which I believe more legend and fiction than anything else,

but California they wanted to band it like the East had Jesse James and so on.

He wanted sort of a Robin Hood. They picked Wauke, Murietta, he was pretty good at plundering gold such as this here.

Which was pretty plentiful in California around 1850.

But the way the story goes, he got to be quite a nuisance in the governor of California in 1853,

he wanted to get rid of it, so he offered a reward by $1,000 for the man dead or alive.

So he authorized Captain Love, I believe, Captain Love, the California Rangers,

and his man, the Wauke, which they did, they caught up with him in Cantua Creek, California,

July 7, 1853, and a man named William Henderson, they shot him to death, the whole bunch of Rangers,

William Henderson was credit it was cutting up his head and a hand, a three finger jat,

and he brought it back for the reward money, which they got.

Then the head was displayed around California for many years in a jar preserved in whiskey.

It finally wound up in a museum. Professor Jordan's Museum in San Francisco were stayed until 1906.

Supposedly, it was destroyed in the earthquake.

But then the way the new story goes, in 1957, his head was found in San Francisco in a man's attic,

and it was pretty well checked over and found out to be pretty authentic.

And it wound up in the Amity Museum for several years where his own display,

and then they went bankrupt, and when they did, a man from Northern California, Alcat, what the head.

And he had it in his museum for quite a while, and I've seen it there, and I really was interested in that head,

and I really liked it, so he sold it to me roughly for $2,000.

So, I'm going to go back to the museum and see what he's doing.
