built 642 days ago
Retriever  > Arts  > People
Hedy Lamarr did step in and play the part of Ilsa on the radio, while Ingrid Bergmann and Humphrey Bogart were overseas entertaining the troops. Alan Ladd helped out by playing the part of Rick while Bogart was busy.
This absorbing book traces the eventful and sometimes scandalous lives of Hedy and George. It tells the fascinating story of radio and the ongoing battle to make it secure and of similar quality to wired communication. Spread spectrum emerges from that battle to become the solution of choice for anything from mobile phones to wireless computer networks.

Hugheshopes that application will make the Internet more accessible to rural schools.
