Seaborg* before a joint meeting in San Francisco of the Atomic Industrial Forum and Stanford's Research Institute.

But local bluenoses denounce Dan and all his works and ways. After a sensational hearing in which his thirstiest patron blows the bluenosiest citizen right out of the water, Dan is stripped of his liquor license. The rest...
