Here is that exact documentary you were thinking of [0]. It's really a fantastic documentary on the incredible feats of von Neumann and worth a watch by everyone here.
That person you quoted was Edward Teller and the interview can be found at 54:58 [1].
I read somewhere that the young boy asking von Neumann a question at 6:13 [2] is actually Bill Clinton. Can anyone verify this?

- chrisco255 7y agoCan't verify it 100% but the boy in the video looks similar to Bill's boyhood photos: https://images.app.goo.gl/WT6GygVPiTiKgkuY7 https://images.app.goo.gl/WT6GygVPiTiKgkuY7 However, Clinton was born in 1946, and this video is from 1955, so he would have been 9. The boy in the video looks older than 9 to me.

- freyr 7y agoBill Clinton would have been nine years old when this was filmed. The boy in the clip looks a bit too young to have a nine year old kid.
- lqet 7y agoHa, that is indeed the exact documentary I was talking about, thanks!
- mixmastamyk 7y agoNo, it’s not Clinton.
