First sentence: In a picture taken at the MIT Radiation Laboratory during World War II, his hat at a jaunty angle and a cigarette dangling from his lips, a cocky smile on his face and a coil of wire strung around his neck, Luis Alvarez appears not as the stereotypical dull, introverted scientist but more like a cross between Indiana Jones and Humphrey Bogart (Figure 1).
