Dancing With Neutrinos: NOVA interview with astrophysicist John Bahcall
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/neutrino/dancing.html
The story of how many neutrinos the sun produces and how many reach
the Earth is one of dogged persistence, the patience of Job, and a
tight-knit collaboration between two researchers who steadfastly
believed in their findings. In this interview with astrophysicist
John Bahcall, who died in August 2005 at age 70, hear about the
career-long quest that he and Nobel Prize-winning chemist Raymond
Davis Jr. launched in the early 1960s and finally completed in 2001.
When results announced that year proved them right, Bahcall, when
asked how he felt, responded, "I feel like dancing I'm so happy."

I'm glad he got to see that before he died. He was quite a gentleman,
very humble when talking to students.
