The Neon Nurse's Charting

As usual, I didn't get too many of the things I had planned to do done, but I did do a few things, and it was a generally pleasant weekend. Most of the snow has melted, and spring is coming around yet again.

1. Cher's former partner's last name (4 letters)
2. The cube root of twenty seven (5 letters)
3. The "incident" before the Vietnam War (6 letters)
4. The theory that physiology and physics are drivers of economics (15 letters)
5. A good mustard (5 letters)"

I knew three of these, but was totally blanking on 3 and 4. Any ideas?
