Biographical/Historical Sketch
HEARTS & QUARKS, a film about the ethics and application of modern science and technology, was Jane Wagner's masters thesis
project for the Dept. of Communications Documentary Film Program at Stanford. It features interviews with physicist Sidney
Drell and heart surgeon Norman Shumway.
Hearts & Quarks, Two Perspectives on Modern Technology, addresses questions raised by the applications and effects of science in our society; it focuses on the careers of two Stanford
University scientists, Sidney Drell and Dr. Norman Shumway. Prof . Drell , a theoretical physicist and arms control expert,
is deputy director of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; Dr. Shumway, who performed the first U.S. heart transplant in
1968, is chairman of cardiovascular surgery at the Stanford Medical Center. The film combines interviews with historical and
contemporary footage.
This collection of production materials includes the l6mm film negatives (with 3/4 inch video copies) of Wagner's interviews
with Drell and Shumway and of a conversation between Drell and Shumway; audio tapes of the above as well as class and operating
room sounds and the narration; and logs and transcripts.
