Physics Nobel Prize

Abstract

There is one shortcoming in the otherwise beautifully composed article by Philip W. Anderson (19 Nov., p. 763) on the 1982 Nobel Prize in Physics. Anderson writes: "Experimental observations of singular behavior at critical points (such as deviations of critical fluctuations or 'critical opalescence' from the naive Ornstein-Zernicke [sic] form predicted in the 1930' s) multiplied as the years went on."
