Radio
Dr. Thomas Louis Magliozzi and his younger brother Ray are "Click and Clack, The Tappet Brothers," the hosts of National Public Radio's comedy car advice show Car Talk. Both are MIT alumni — Tom has a degree in chemical engineering (1958), and Ray has a degree in humanities and general science (1972) — and they regularly use that fact in their self-deprecating attempts to establish their credibility on technical matters. After campaigning on-air for years, they were finally invited to speak at MIT's 1999 commencement exercise.

—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
