Theoretical Physicists Steven Weinberg, then-Higgens Professor of Physics, and Pakistani physicist Adbus Salam predicted the location and weight of the W and Z particles as early as 1967. Weinberg, Salam, and current Higgins Professor of Physics Scheldon L. Glashow shared the Nobel Prize in 1979 for their work on the unification theories. "If Rubbia had not confirmed the existence of the W particle, theoretical physicists would have been running around emitting sharp cries," Weinberg, who now teaches at the University of Texas, said yesterday...
...This is a monumental and fantastic achievement, Glashow agreed yesterday, adding that a Nobel Prize for Rubbia is "perfectly plausible...
...Sheldon Glashow, Higgins Professor of Physics, comments even more pithily. "I'm not in shape. And you can quote me on that...
...Glashow decides to pick a university on the basis of money alone. It will be a very quick choice, and one that will keep the physicist a good deal warmer in the winter. But in choosing between a Harvard paycheck and a Texas A&M paycheck. Glashow is not only confronted with two disparate salary policies, but also with the two diametrically opposite educational philosophies they reflect...
...will be a loss for Harvard if Sheldon Glashow is lured away to Texas by the siren-song of a six-figure salary. But the only way to prevent such losses would be to make a far sadder compromise and engage in the sort of academic astronomy. Texas A&M practices: peering out over the faculty each year at salary-setting time and deciding which professors look like stars...
