A Fable in his Lifetime

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by JOHN CHARAP
Paul Dirac has had a greater influence on theoretical physics than any Englishman since Newton. His friends and disciples revere him for his kindness and his profound integrity. Dr Charap, a theoretical physicist, has invited some of them to record their reminiscences on the occasion of Dirac's 70th birthday, which falls on Tuesday.
With SIR RUDOLF PEIERLS
SUBRAHMANYAN CHANDRASEKHAR and ABDUS SALAM
Producer MICHAEL TOTTON
