Just to continue the story of Hedy Lamarr, after rooting around just a bit, I
found an excellent web site, sponsored in part by the National Science
Foundation. Its URL is:

     http://wireless.oldcolo.com/course/hedy.htm

Both stories below her photograph on the page are worth reading, but be sure
to click on her biography, as told by two high-school girls from Hoxie,
Kansas. It's worth the time.
