Irv Kupcinet Show coffee mug

Irv Kupcinet Show coffee mug

This item from my family knickknack shelf is the coffee mug that Stan received when he appeared as a scientific expert about antiballistic missiles on the Irv Kupcinet Show in 1969 or '70. I will see if I can look it up. 

I remember the television appearance quite well. I was proud that my father was using his technical expertise in a way that impacted the political discussion at the time. 

Stan's involvement in the anti-ABM debate was not the only time he stepped into the political sphere with respect to nuclear technology. I'll see what else I can round up to fill out this aspect of Stan's life and work.
