'Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens'
Like his brother J. Robert Oppenheimer, Frank Oppenheimer was a brilliant physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project.

Cole, author of the new biography "Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens: Frank Oppenheimer and the World He Made Up."
Host: Dave Iverson
Guests:
- K.C. Cole, professor of journalism at USC and author of "Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens: Frank Oppenheimer and the World He Made Up"
