Milgram’s 50th Anniversary

The APS points out that this year is the 50th anniversary of Stanley Milgram’s obedience to authority experiments. They have a PDF of a Psychology Today article from June, 1974 which is an interview with Milgram conducted by the psychologist Carol Tavris. It includes some photos of Milgram. My favorite quote:

We are all fragile creatures entwined in a cobweb of social constraints.
