Music* Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth\'s Modesty Blaise score.* First bit is called Steep Hills of Vicodin Tears by A Winged Victory for the Sullen from their self-titled album. * A brief bit of Occam II for Violin by Silvia Tarrozi scores the shuttle accident (non-NASA category). * We\'ve got Eloy by Deaf Center. * Finish out with Call from Julianna Barwick\'s album Pacing.

Notes* There\'s no, proper, grown-up biography of Margaret Knight (as far as I\'ve been able to locate). Though there are a handful of kid\'s books of varying degrees of charm and accuracy. She does pop up in a fair amount of "Lady Inventors!!!" collections. I read a bunch of these, but I want to single out one for its rigor: Autumn Stanley\'s Mothers and Daughters of Invention.
