How many families end up with a name that means “wolfcub”? More than you’d think, and we’ve had email from many!
Frank’s Wilczek roots are Polish–his father’s dad and mom came from Warsaw and Galicia respectively, arriving sometime between the two world wars. (Frank’s mom is Italian, but that’s another story.)
This morning, 5 copies of ‘Przeglad Weekly Magazine were delivered to our hotel from Warsaw, Poland–you can see a shorter version of Frank’s interview at their website–they called it “Lowca kwarkow, ” which means “Quarks hunter”, I’m told.
Here, at the request of their editor, is a photo of Frank, in a rare moment of Nobel downtime, reading “Przeglad.”
Thanks to Waldemar Piasecki for making it happen!
