DESCRIPTION: \nRutherford and Bohr discovered the nuclear atom 100 years a
 go. Roughly 50 years ago a theory of this basic structure of matter was in
 spired by the work of Peter Higgs and others. In July 2012 the discovery "
 beyond reasonable doubt" of Higgs's boson\, and the experimental proof of 
 the theory\, was announced and speculations about Nobel prizes mushroomed.
  The Economist said of Frank Close's book\, The Infinity Puzzle (OUP\,2012
 ): "The Nobel Committee would be well advised to read Mr Close’s book be
 fore making their decision."  This pedagogic talk reviews the ideas and th
 e history\, and assesses how the credits should be shared. It explains why
  the Sunday Times and Daily Mail are misguided in claiming that the boson 
 should be named after anyone other than Higgs. The conclusions may not be 
 what you anticipate.
