...room knew a crossbuck from an Eliot House chambermaid. Only Associate Dean Robert Blake Watson had had direct contact with the game (as a scrub on the 1936 squad which won 3, lost four). The rest of the committee included four Ph.D.s (a Russian-born chemist plus professors of Greek literature, economics and medieval history.) There were also some assorted deans, a professor of hygiene, and a director of financial aid. But like all Monday-morning quarterbacks, the committeemen wound up by blaming everything on the white-thatched, mild-mannered coach Jordan, they recommended to the Harvard Corporation last week...

The films were put together with a paltry $44,000 budget by Rice and the staff of KQED, one of the most adventurous educational stations. In most of them Seaborg chats cannily about his favorite subject: nuclear science and the elements, "the building blocks of nature." His props include batches of the nine-odd man-made elements (plutonium, berkelium, etc.), batteries of blinking lights, clicking radiation counters, and black and white checkers...
