The following year he proposed the concept for a grand National Accelerator Laboratory - a facility that was not only developed to great success (and eleven years later would be renamed Fermilab), but one he would eventually become the longest-serving Director of years later.

Of course, along his journey there he did some other stuff too - ranging from things like establishing a longstanding restaurant at Fermilab (the famous Chez Léon) in 1979, to discovering the bottom quark in 1977. And then there were his years as Fermilab's Director. 4/
