Gordon L. Kane Gordon Kane (born January 19, 1937) is "Victor Weisskopf Distinguished University Professor" at the University of Michigan and Director Emeritus at the Michigan Center for Theoretical Physics (MCTP), a leading center for the advancement of theoretical physics. He was director of the MCTP from 2005 to 2011 and "Victor Weisskopf Collegiate Professor of Physics" from 2002 - 2011. He received the Lilienfeld Prize from the American Physical Society in 2012, and the J. J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics in 2017.
Operation Gold Operation Gold (also known as Operation Stopwatch by the British) was a joint operation conducted by the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) in the 1950s to tap into landline communication of the Soviet Army headquarters in Berlin using a tunnel into the Soviet-occupied zone. This was a much more complex variation of the earlier Operation Silver project in Vienna. Soviet authorities were informed about Operation Gold from the very beginning by their mole George Blake and "discovered" the tunnel in 1956.
