pickThis only had a 94% rating on Litsy, which reminds me of that one sportswriter who didn't vote Michael Jordan into the Basketball Hall of Fame. History books don't get much better than this.

The French-Jewish philosopher Raymond Aron would say, when asked about the Holocaust, "I knew, but I didn't believe it. And because I didn't believe it, I didn't know."
Fortunately, there has been a lot of funding from the private sector as well.
"Early detection of lung cancer has languished. In the U.S., still only about 4.5 percent of the eligible population is being screened. Outside the U.S., the number is even lower."
pickI can't recommend enough this highly important book. One minor criticism I have of it is that it can sometimes be a little vague. For example, the authors mention that there's a blood test that can detect 50 different types of cancers, and yet, they don't say what the name of the test is. Then again, that's what doctors are for.

Lack of funding is a constant challenge. Several years ago, researchers from Washington University in St. Louis surveyed state and local departments to learn how many of them had been forced to terminate effective cancer screening and prevention programs due to lack of funding or other factors. The answer? A depressing 28 percent.
