No, I didn't see it. However, I did know that they were part of the "Traitorous Eight" engineers that left Shockley Semiconductor in disgust at Shockley's carrying on when things weren't going well: Shockley blamed sabotage and demanded lie detector tests.

BTW, their departure was not long after Shockley won the Nobel Prize. It's a pity that Shockley went on to a less stellar career after his breakthrough work in transistors.
