In 1961, Yale University social psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted incredibly provocative experiments in obedience in which subjects administered apparently painful and even lethal electric shocks to others just because an authority figure in a lab coat told them to. (The shocks were fake and the recipients were shills, but the subjects didn't know this.) More than four decades later, ABC Radio InterNational's Gina Perry tracked down some of the victims subjects.
