While employed at Arthur D. Little, Dr. Vonnegut built upon his research in atmospheric science. The majority of his work focused on electrification of clouds, thunderstorms, and the behavior of lightning, he also looked at behaviors of gases but on a much smaller scale. Besides pursuing his own research, Dr. Vonnegut worked on a number of advisory projects for the United States government. These projects focused on the relationship between aircrafts and lightning. The main focus was on how aircrafts detect and avoid lightning when flying in a storm.

This series contains scripts and supporting materials for broadcasts conducted by Rienow. Two lecture series predominate. The first, Living Patterns of Government, was a televised political science course broadcast in early 1958.

Topics include air and water pollution, overpopulation, deforestation of the wilderness, and overcrowding in cities. There are also files on other broadcasts by Rienow, such as "The Politics of Survival: The Image of the President.".
