“...we are in the preliminary stage of one of the greatest battles in history, that we are in action at many other points in Norway and in Holland, that we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean, that the air battle is continuous... I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”
Umm... since this movie features Morgan Freeman, it is therefore a good movie, and I’m going to see it.
Back in the ‘60s Scientific American published a compilation of their Amateur Scientist projects in hardback form. These were real-deal science experiments, not kid stuff. One was a particle accelerator that ran on tens of thousands of volts. I still have my copy.

Just so we’re all on the same page here, $0.30/gal in 1959 was like $2.61/gal today, about the average price for unleaded. The real price of regular at the pump reached an all-time low in the late ‘90s, and was very near this low again in 2016. Gas was at its most expensive in the 1910s.
