His death was announced by the University of Edinburgh, where he was an emeritus professor. Dr. Higgs lived in Edinburgh. Dr. Higgs was a 35-year-old assistant professor at the university in 1964 when he suggested the existence of a new particle that would explain how other particles acquire mass. Dr. Higgs was a modest man who eschewed the trappings of fame and preferred the outdoors. For years he relied on a colleague Alan Walker, a physics professor at Edinburgh, to act as his “digital seeing-eye dog,” in the words of a former student.

"I never saw myself as a speaker, let alone a motivational speaker," Leonard tells me while his assistant irons his jeans. 'When I ramble," Hunter told me, "hit me in the leg!" Every plane had been grounded, including the one stuck on the tarmac with an increasingly inebriated Hunter Thompson trapped inside. But by far the most all-consuming task was booking gigs for Hunter Thompson. Just before a debate with G. Gordon Liddy at Brown University, Hunter demanded that Betsy Berg, whom I now worked alongside at GTN, score him some crystal meth.
