Dr. Maiman had some inspirational words of wisdom when he received an honorary degree from SFU in 2002 (see the link, 2nd last paragraph). This article, which includes mention of his press conference in 1960 to announce his invention, also shows that the media, then as much as now, has always had its own agenda.
Had Bette Davis lived recently enough to reap the benefits of cosmetic laser surgery, she probably would have thanked him for inventing the "death ray"! :lol:
