kengrIt has been brought to my attention that several folks on my f-list have never even *heard* of Connections.
Please, go rent it. Or find a friend and borrow it. Heck, I think much of it is up on YouTube.
This is history (and science, and some social history stuff as well) they way it *should* be presented. Lots of fun too.
Besides the two sequels listed in the Wiki, also check out "The Day the Universe Changed"

So much depends on personal interests and whims and business and politics that it's easy to understand why the current standard way of doing things could very easily have been different.
