One of my favorite memories of a summer science program in astronomy
that I attended in the '60s during high school was when one of the
profs brought in a sample from Fritz Zwicky's kook file (I forget what
picturesque name he had for it).  The item that sticks out in my
memory was an elaborate pamphlet (mimeographed, I think, with freehand
drawn diagrams), which proved that there was no such thing as
"gravity" -- the effect we feel a gravity is actually downward air
pressure.
