...year-old Georgi, a bearded, august professor, might seem like an unlikely feminist. But if anyone has the heft to make change, he does. The physicist learned his scientific ABCs at the College from Nobel Prize-winner Julian Schwinger, won renown in the lab, and eventually assumed the chairmanship of Harvard’s physics department...
...York. As undergraduates at M.I.T., he and a friend, Theodore Welton, re-created for themselves much of the physics discovered in the quantum revolution that had taken place in Europe during the 1920s. And although he shared the 1965 Nobel Prize for the theory of quantum electrodynamics with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichiro Tomonaga, Feynman had an approach that was typically bizarre. Instead of using conventional calculations, he invented "Feynman diagrams," arrows and squiggles that mapped the comings and goings of particles so effectively that they are now a standard tool of physicists...

...unification of two of the forces is, ultimately, where Glashow, Weinberg, and their fellow recipient, Pakistani Dr. Abdus Salam, fit in. But not right away. Before their breakthrough came a legion of wayward plaths, of errors and frustrations. "Nobel Laureate Julian Schwinger," Glashow will say of his great mentor, "attacked the problem, but even he came away discouraged. There were too many mysteries." This was as recently as 1955, and at this time only a lonely few really believed that someone would prove this abstract theory...
