...precisely the way the prize ought to remain. Arthur Jaffe, professor of Mathematical Physics, is one of them. Jaffe, who won the Heinemann Prize for mathematical physics this past week, contends that there's a good reason for the traditional lag: "the awarding of the Nobel Prize at too young an age can conceivably hamper a person's career. It focuses the attention, the publicity, in such a special way. You're so much in the spotlight, and your science suffers correspondingly." But Glashow, while feeling the immediate pressures of the prize and the extent to which they impinge...
...back streets of Roslindale are very lonely at 9 p.m. on a Saturday night. But State Sen. Joseph F. Timilty is hanging out in his campaign-hired mid-sized blue Mercury--parked in a gas station that probably never opens on Saturday nights. There is a very Greek-looking young man standing on the passenger's side of the car, leaning in the window, and briefing the candidate...

There must be 300 donuts lying neatly arranged on the tables, but nobody has touched them. A young woman is manning the McDonalds-loaned drinking vat, but nobody seems to be interested...

The candidate is in a dark blue pinstripe suit and blue shirt, replete with sideburns struggling to complete the Jerry Brown young-but-responsible look. The voice is all wrong--too high--bouncing off the yellow and beige walls in the basement...
...other differences of course is that this time Joe Timilty's neck is really on the line. Timilty has a lot more to lose than another election and the $25,000 loan he took out before the preliminary. If the state senator is relatively young in years, he's twice his age in political saleability and getting older each time he runs. If there was little personal animosity between the two perennial opponents the first time they played this show, there's a whole lot now. Like Peter the Great in Sweden, Joe Timilty has regrouped and come back...
