GABRIELE VENEZIANO · Physics Today · 1969
THE THEORY OF STRONG INTERACTIONS has been for many years particularly hard and fruitless. Today, under the momentum of a number of new ideas, theorists in this field appear to have regained confidence and enthusiasm. Both in its mathematical tools and physical ideas, the new trend in strong interactions points to a decisive change from the old one. Is elementary-particle theory undergoing a revolutionary change too?
