ABC News obtained one of the most extraordinary historical documents ever released. It is only a few days after the assassination of President Kennedy. Lyndon Johnson has just assumed the presidency and, understandably, he is obsessed with learning as much as he can about the murder of his predecessor and with finding a way to control how that information reaches the American public. One of Johnson's primary sources of information is the director of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover. Imagine that you were able to eavesdrop on the conversation between Hoover and Johnson. That is precisely what the Johnson Library in Austin, Texas has done. The library released recordings of President Johnson's telephone conversations for the period of November 22nd, 1963 to November 30th of the same year, allowing us to have an ear to history.

In part 1, John Stossel takes a look at several popular beliefs: Getting cold will give you a cold; money can buy happiness; chemicals are killing us; we're drowning in garbage. None of it is true. For example, scientists say that people get sick in winter, not because they're cold, but because they spend more time indoors spreading viruses back and forth. Research shows that more money makes people significantly happier only if their family income is below $30,000; after $50,000 money makes no difference. These and more myths are answered when John Stossel puts conventional wisdom to the test in "Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity." In part 2, John Stossel takes a look at several popular beliefs: Is it true that strange things happen when the moon is full? Are SUVs safer to drive than cars? Should you avoid swimming after eating? John Stossel puts conventional wisdom to the test in "Myths, Lies and Downright Stupidity."When sold by Amazon.com, this product will be manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
