Gross now took on a new graduate student, twenty-one-year-old Frank Wilczek, who had come to Princeton from the University of Chi- cago planning to study mathematics, but who switched to physics after taking Gross's graduate

After Higgs's talk at Harvard, where Sheldon Glashow was now a professor, Glashow apparently complimented him on having invented a "nice model" and moved on. Such was the fixation on the strong in- te

Along with Frank Wilczek, I wrote a paper that not only pointed out that such an observation would indicate a symmetry-breaking scale that corresponded nicely to the Grand

I received com- ments and useful suggestions and corrections in response, and I want to thank both Sheldon Glashow and Wally Gilbert for their suggestions, as well as Richard Dawkins, and I am particularly indebted to one of the colleagues I admire most for his
