The hospital where "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was filmed in the 1970s has been closed. Built in 1883, it came to represent the horrors of in-patient psychiatric treatment. Two new hospitals, plus community-based clinics, will replace the Salem facility where, the Statesman Journal reports, an investigation once found the remains of 3,600 patients who had been cremated.
