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

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

On even the worst days, when nothing was working at the lab, I knew that at home I would find warmth, peace, companionship, and encouragement. As a consequence, the next day would surely be better.

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 broke with my religion in college.

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