- He's an interesting character. Some of the stories I had heard before in various videos and articles online, but even so this went into more depth. It includes his childhood, college, the Manhattan Project, professorships, interesting people, bureaucracies, and ends with a lamentation on "cargo cult science" which seems all too applicable today as it was in the '80s.
