To compare the U.S. post-war adventure in Iraq with our occupation of Japan, the producers aired part of a 1946 documentary, sternly narrated by Arthur Kennedy: ?Here?s where we clinch our victory or muff it.?

Growing up in northwest Connecticut, he worked summers as a lifeguard and briefly considered a career monitoring streams. So even though his work in environmental microbiology kept him indoors, when it was time to open his own lab in 1995, he chose to do so at the University of Massachusetts in pastoral Amherst, turning down more prestigious Ivy League suitors so that he could have a better prospect of getting his boots muddy...
