I found the movie listings easily enough, but had to drill down several levels for the reviews, and unfortunately there was no way to scan recommended films or buy tickets online. I could see which books were just released and read reviews from a link to barnesandnoble.com but couldn't get a list of upcoming titles.

The prevailing view was that British and American scientists established the lung-cancer link during the early 1950s. In fact, says Proctor, "the Nazis conducted world-class studies in this field." But their findings, because of the abhorrent medical practices used by the regime, were ignored. Hitler, a teetotaling vegetarian, believed healthy living advanced the master race; Jews, Gypsies and smokers soiled the purity...
