James Cronin

My mother, Dorothy Watson, had met my father in a Greek class at Northwestern University.

When the violation of parity was discovered I began a series of electronic experiments to investigate parity violation in hyperon decays.

While at Chicago my interest in the new field of particle physics was stimulated by a course given by Gell- Mann, who was developing his ideas about Strangeness at the time.

I broke with my religion in college.

I was thinking of going to London drama schools or to New York, because France didn't accommodate the things I wanted to do in film.

I am happy to the spokeswoman for this French youth that tomorrow will be spearhead new hope in the shape of the National Front.
