Starvation Study (09/20/1996)
An amazing story that was buried for 15 years has been unearthed. During World War Two, there were some men who wouldn't...or couldn't go to war. So they served their country in a different way...by starving themselves in a bizarre medical experiment conducted in Minnesota. Reporter Mike Garguilo (gar-JOO-lo) reports they were unique soldiers in the war on hunger. (Take Pkg)
