Physics Lessons

Judith S. Gillies’ article about a fun/educational TV program delights me (“Learning to Make the Difficult Easy,” Jan. 2). Shades of Julius Sumner Miller!

In the mid-’50s, he had a program on TV every Sunday afternoon about physics. Not only was it enlightening, it was fun. Several of us recent engineering grads got together week after week to watch it, even though the material was fresh in our minds.

I’ve never seen anything like it since. Unfortunately, live programs in those days weren’t recorded, but maybe the scripts still exist. They could provide the basis for a new series.
