...Mike Watson, rounding out the Instant Karma line with 15 goals and 14 assists, including six power play goals and five two-goal games. The very surprising defensive contributions of junior Alan Litchfield, who had the most consistent season of anyone on the blueline, and walk-on freshman Ken Code, whose dive-and-knock-the-puck-away style continually foiled the opposition's scoring chances...

Relying on candid interviews with Oppenheimer's Los Alamos colleagues, as well as rare footage of the test site itself, code-named Trinity. Else captures the spirit of the project and the nearly 6000 scientists who labored for four years on it. Oppenheimer, whom one former colleague calls the "conductor" of a huge orchestra, emerges in relation to his atomic baby. The man orchestrated our passage into the atomic age, hoping...
