  Sample reference line and three comparison lines in Solomon Asch Experiment The November 1955 issue of Scientific American magazine* announced the most consequential discovery ever made about the workings of the human mind. One quarter of all people are immune to the distorting effect of social pressure on their judgment. The remaining three-quarters will lie through their teeth about so simple a black-and-white fact as the length of a line--simply because a small but apparently unanimous group persists in making the same error. No persuasion or arguments were offered during the experiment; all but one of the participants were instructed to lie about the relative lengths of lines on paper with a perfectly straight face.  This discovery of inborn complaisance as a fact of human nature has ominous implications for the democratic process--the process that determines the kind of laws that are passed.

I have it in English and Portuguese, quickly adaptable to Dutch, German, Yiddish, ...

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND,  21JAN1929 : LEAGUE OF NATIONS 6 th  Meeting of the Opium Advisory Committee , now chaperoned by the Permanent Central Opium Board -- USA dry snoops and foreign  collaborati onists. PM 7 th Meeting : More reports from governments p45. Sato of Japan feigns ignorance of native Indian coca plantations or Nipponese exports thereto. Meanwhile, former financier Sir John Campbell of India also ignores native Indian coca plantations. He then asserted that native State opium could not possibly make it across British India to seaports, and from thence on to China. Nevermind India's land borders with China and Burma, complete with handy river routes leading east to Nanking & Shanghai . At this point Italian Senator Cavazzoni says AHA! then demands the record reflect that the Americans were right after all a...
