Journey Into Darkness-3 ec a Cancer Quackery And Its Victims
A historical critique traces cancer quackery from Elisha Perkins to Dr. Albert Abrams, showing how medical faddism rode waves of new science. It notes monopolies, devices like Perkins’ patent tracers, oscilloclasts, and wireless era claims, with a wary view of unproven cures and the era’s culture.

Delaware Omnibus Ombudsman Idea Reemerges in Senate
Senator Holloway renews a bill to create a state ombudsman office to investigate grievances against agencies. The proposed State Office of Complaints and Public Protections would empower subpoenas, mandate a 12 year term for the ombudsman, and require apolitical service with a salary matching the state chief justice. Critics warn of potential agency obstruction. Holloway cites police brutality as a test case and notes Sweden and other nations already employ similar watchdog roles.
