s Nobel address, "For me the discovery of asymptotic freedom was totally unexpected. Like an atheist who has just received a message from a burning bush, I became an immediate true believer! Sidney Coleman had assigned his own graduate student David Politzer to do a similar calculation, and his ind

on to stir the embers was a theorist who worked di- rectly in the field of condensed matter physics associated with super- conductivity in materials. Philip Anderson, at Princeton, later a Nobel laureate for other work, suggested that one of the most fundamental, ubiquitous phenomena in superconductors might be
