Dr. Ahmed Zewail was the Egyptian-born scientist who won the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in femtochemistry. Dr. Zewail developed a technique using ultra-fast lasers to photograph atoms and molecules spectroscopically during chemical reactions. He studied reactions that took place in femtoseconds, millionths of a billionth of a second. His work can now be used to study not only chemical, but biological and physical phenomena, creating whole new areas of science. Pete Fountain was the renowned jazz clarinetist from New Orleans. He got his start playing with Lawrence Welk, and became popular playing for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, on his way to becoming a fixture in New Orleans.
