However, Gross and Wilczek recognized the natural candidate was the Yang-Mills theory that Greenberg and others had posited was neces- sary for Gell-Mann's quark hypothesis to explain the observed nature of elementary particles. In this theory each

Philip Anderson, at Princeton, later a Nobel laureate for other work, suggested that one of the most fundamental, ubiquitous phenomena in superconductors might be
