Each time the radiation increased, only to level off again-still too much control rod. After lunch, Fermi ordered the rod withdrawn another foot. Again the radiation leveled off. Then another six inches. Still not enough. "Pull it out another foot," Fermi called. It was precisely...
Fermi let the reaction run on for 28 minutes, then ordered it stopped. Hungarian-born Physicist Eugene Wigner brought out a bottle of Chianti. Fermi sent out for paper cups. Nobody offered a toast-the moment was too solemn for that. Wrote Physicist Samuel K. Allison, a top Fermi assistant, in a recent article: "All of us in the laboratory knew that with the advent of the chain reaction the world would never be the same again...

Hoping to do right by doing wrong, Boone plays the heavy in 7 Arts' The Main Attraction. He is knocked silly in a barroom brawl and revived by Chianti spilled over his head by a circus floozy.
