nd energy.Earlier, before I moved to Harvard and was still at MIT, a friend of mine at the time, Lawrence Hall, was a graduate student at Harvard. Lawrence was ahead of me in his work, graduating before me. He told me that he was only able to complete the work that became his thesis with Weinberg becau

Strong Interactions."

ited to try to make sense of the otherwise complex inter- actions between nucleons and other particles. In response to this notion that some kind of Yang-Mills symmetry might be behind the strong interaction, Murray Gell-Mann developed an elegant symmetry scheme he labeled in a Zen-like fashion the Eight-
