The Soviet father of the hydrogen bomb and Nobel Peace Laureate turned dissident physicist, Andrei Sakharov, had been exiled to Gorki by the Soviet authorities. Called "senile" and under heavy Soviet censorship, Sakharov had a hard time communicating his latest scientific results to readers outside of Gorki. Some smuggled results reached the author, Harry Lipkin, who then realized that he and Sakharov were both pioneers in a new revolution on our understanding the structure of matter. The particle physics community had resisted their revelation that the 606 $aPhysicists$zSoviet Union$vBiography 606 $aQuarks 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhysicists 615 0$aQuarks. 676 $a539.72167 676 $a947.084092 700 $aLipkin$b Harry J$048854 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452325903321 996 $aAndrei Sakharov$91967934 997 $aUNINA
