Obituary:  Henry W. Kendall (1926-99)

Kurt Gottfried1

The range of Henry Kendall's accomplishments and avocations is reminiscent of that of a prodigiously energetic and versatile Victorian. He was a key figure in a fundamental discovery in physics, a world-class mountaineer in his younger years, a photographer and diver at the professional level, and an inspiring leader in bringing the concerns of scientists, about the social impact of technology, to the attention of the American body politic.
