  • Abstract
    MANY of you last year undoubtedly saw the Disneyland television show called “Our Friend the Atom.” It explained the principles of nuclear reactions. It was first rate in every way; it had an interesting story. It was very well done. Lots of Disney animation and a real honest-to-gosh German scientist as a narrator. It also had a very first-class price tag: $16,000 a minute was supposed to be the cost and since it ran about 55 minutes, that means close to $900,000.
