NOVA has become total goo-goo-gaa-gaa science, and is now intended for
kids. I wish they would replay the original shows I remember from
1976, these were not dumb down. Oh well, the intent is to get more
kids in science. Just what I need more kids that are academic, and
have no "knack".

You would like "connections" a BBC production from the 1970s. A
little dated, but still good.

Connections was more than good, it was spectacularly good, and unlike
the noted current NOVA schlock, it had plenty of detail. There is a book
available and I believe you can get it on DVD now as well.

Yes, I concur. James something-or-other, I think. Burke? One of his shows
climaxed in "an atomic bomb dramatic pause in a _suitcase_! =:-O"

Cheers!
