Nixon's war on cancer patients and oncologists

[shaleside]

What I read:  " ... when President Nixon declared war on cancer, oncologists, and cancer patients."

What the sentence really said: "... ever since 1971, when President Nixon declared war on cancer, oncologists and cancer patients have been caught in a cycle of euphoria and despair ..."

The world is more eventful when I don't read full sentences.
