[NJARC] Hedy Lamarr (again)

[Retevis]

Thanks Dave. 

If you folks want the in-depth story--including the one about her silent partner on the patent--you should read "Hedy's Folly" by historian Richard Rhodes. I finished reading it about a month ago and read it quickly because I could not put it down. Interestingly, cell phones were so far away from its original intent as the technology was created to give our side unjammable torpedoes in WWII. 

Best wishes to all,
Bob Tevis
