Now in Boston, Weinberg describes how his earlier work on current algebra led to effective field theory. With the Vietnam War going on, JASON work focuses on the war effort. In 1967, Weinberg takes up a lectureship at MIT and published his most-cited paper, “A Model of Leptons,” which heralded electroweak theory. He attends the Solvay conference in Brussels in 1967, but misses being in the group photo. Back in Boston, Weinberg discusses making friends through his election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He becomes involved in an independent study of the US’ anti-ballistic missile program, concluding that this would hasten the arms race between the US and the Soviet Union.
