214@100: Sky's the limit for this Forest View grad

From Forest View to the outer reaches of theoretical physics, that's the journey taken by 1969 graduate Christopher T. Hill. A theoretical physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Hill's doctoral thesis, "Higgs Scalars and the Nonleptonic Weak Interactions" (1977, Murray Gell-Mann was his adviser) contains the first detailed discussion of the two-Higgs-doublet model. He has written three books with Nobel laureate Leon Lederman. For more on Hill's contributions, see his page on Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_T._Hill.
