Borgenicht is a Salt Lake city pediatrician, activist, writer, and teacher. He has taught courses in both medicine and literature at the University of Utah. He has given his presentation, 'The Last Laugh: Nuclear Humor' around the United States as well as in London and Stockholm. He is an active member of Physicians for Social Responsibility and the Utah Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. 'Last Laugh' is a multimedia presentation which includes posters, bumper stickers, parodies, official government propaganda (e.g. a three-minute film), music and other representations of our nuclear culture. They are culled from the collection of Louis Borgenicht, MD a nuclear packrat for years. The last laugh explores the utility of humor in dealing with the incomprehensible and concludes with a quote from Robert Stone: 'Laughter is primarily a moral response. It is a rejection of evil, a renunciation of chaos and an affirmation of balance and soundness.'
