In which a doctor (a pathologist, I assume) uses a pair of tweezers to hold up for the cameras what's left of the lung tissue of a coal miner who died of black lung disease. It kind of put the kibosh on the sleazy coal operator's insistence that there is no evidence that years in their coal mines doesn't cause lung problems. If you haven't seen "Harlan County USA," do so.
