[Phys-L] Re: Ben Franklin 1706 -- 1790

Then of course there are good articles in Physics Today. I did note the
passing of his birthday at the end of one of my long posts. It is
interesting that he was already well known in Europe long before he went
there as an ambassador. He was one of the most famous Americans both here
and abroad at that time, and probably our first great scientist.

The History Channel had a decent biography on Ben last week...pretty
interesting life that he led.
