The slide talk: A tutorial drama in one act

This work is the script of a comico-serious half-hour play with a cast of four. It exhibits all the classical blunders in the technical symposium presentation together with their simplest and most effective remedies. Bob, a harassed engineer who just built a nuclear reactor, describes it in a dry run in the presence of Bill, the villainous project engineer who gives him the wrong advice, and Stan and Tom, the editor and chief engineer who show him how to do it better. The playlet is followed by an open panel discussion.
