Your claim only has partial truth to it, and ends up sounding quite silly
without the details you omitted. The senario did not occur as you claim it
did, like this:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest released -> public outrage -> mental
hospitals
closed.
It went like this:
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Released -> public outrage -> indepth
reports
from 60 Minutes and other major media about deporable conditions at mental
hospitals -> mental hospitals closed.
