Appropriating a privilege hitherto reserved for baseball players who consider themselves underpaid, he refused to sign...
...most of the audience it marked the end of the "mystery" of cosmic rays, wrote finis to one of the most reverberating scientific controversies of the century. The tall, rugged man with deep-set eyes and heavy chin who was reading a paper was Arthur Holly Compton.
