Abstract
These days, Franco Iachello is the eminent practitioner applying classical and finite groups to physics. In this he is following a Yale tradition, established by the late Feza Gursey, and he has succeeded Gursey in the Gibbs chair; Gursey in turn, had Pauli as a mentor. Iachello’s striking achievement has been to find an actual realization of arcane supersymmetry within mundane adjacent even-odd nuclei. Thus fax this is the only physical use of supersymmetry, and its fans surely must be surprised at the venue.
