How about the PBS series _Secrets of the Dead_, "Witches Curse," on
possible causes of physical symptoms of supposed victims of witchcraft?
The investigator kept mentioning her forms of inquiry: "I asked my
boyfriend to look it up in a medical book for me,"  or "I stumbled upon
thus-and-such in a bookstore." Aren't they teaching kids how to do
literature searches these days?
