...Perhaps if every kid eligible to die in Southeast Asia put the heat on good ol' Mom and Dad, the middle-aged block of ice could be thawed a little. Even though Abraham was determined to carry out God's command and knife his own son to death, I don't think most parents would share the same degree of devotion. The concept of Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public telling their son to go risk his life in a war situation (a situation few parents could adequately explain) because Nixon says so seems absurd...
After setting up sophisticated detectors to monitor their results, a team ol physicists led by Albert Ghiorso used the University of California's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory's heavy-ion linear accelerator (HILAC) to shoot nitrogen 15 nuclei with an energy level of 84 million electron volts at a submicroscopic bit of californium 249. Although a constant stream of nuclei was directed at the target, only about six collisions per hour produced atoms of the new element...

Crowds come to his rallies mostly in cars, not pickup trucks.

What people say on the show is fairly unimportant: deliberately, Carson keeps the conversation light, and-like the show itself-trivial...
