On the occasion of Sid Drell's retirement as Professor and
Deputy Director at SLAC, this one-day symposium reviewed topics in high energy
physics and public policy to which he has made important contributions.
The symposium was held in the SLAC Auditorium. A variety of speakers discussed inelastic electron scattering and other topics in quantum field
theory, and nuclear arms control and other issues in which science influences public
policy. The speakers included Richard Garwin, Robert Jaffe, T. D. Lee, Chris Llewellyn
Smith, Theodore Postol, Joan Rohlfing, and Tung-Mow Yan. The meeting was followed by a
celebratory dinner, for which the after-dinner speaker was James Bjorken.
Highlights of the talks and selected photos from the event
are available on line. There is web access to the presentations. The Proceedings will be published on the web at a later date and will be available from this site. The event was videotaped. The tapes are available for loan from the SLAC Library.
