Jerusalem Syndrome; Sangria

[M. Lynne Murphy]

There was a story on Jerusalem Syndrome on the reincarnated (Fox TV) version
of Michael Moore's show 'TV Nation'.  It was pretty interesting--they
interviewed lots of Jerusalem psychiatrists.  Here's the blurb from their
web site.  This was show #2 in their Fox days--I don't have a date for that,
though.  A couple of years ago?

Messiah

Jerusalem Syndrome
Each year millions of tourists visit the Holy Land. Occasionally, a few of
them get off the tour
bus and believe they are Jesus. Doctors in Jerusalem have named this
phenomenon the
"Jerusalem Syndrome." TV Nation walks the path of the prophets to
investigate.
