AARGH!@#%@! too late!! I've been waiting to get a tape of
this because I want to show it to my Philosophy and History of Science

Anyway, thanks for the posting. This is, actually, quite a
good film of the historical events -- once one gets past visions of
Jeff G. in "The Fly" remake -- except for the portrayal, IMO, of R.
Franklin: lots of sexism here.
