Everything for Junior. In real life there is no "Jonathan Logan." The name was invented by Founder and President David Schwartz, 60, a grey-haired, broad-browed, restless man with a voice like the horn on a Staten Island ferry.

...team that laid out the momentous experiment was led by Columbia Professors Leon Lederman, Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger, and helped by Brookhaven scientists in charge of the synchrotron.

She does nearly everything else well, too; her scene with Ellie and the sleeping Boss Mangan is the show's finest comic moment. Susan Schwartz (Ellie Dunn), Pat Fay (Lady Utterword), and Joseph Boyd (Randall Utterword) are competent performers, who only occasionally suffer lapses of concentration...
