Abstract
My 1972 Berkeley dissertation describes the experimental test of local hidden variable theories that was reported in Physical Review Letters that year (S. J. Freedman and J. F. Clauser, PRL28, 938 (1972)). I will give a personal account of how a young graduate student who had originally planned to do philosophy, then engineering, then theoretical physics wound up with the problem of testing quantum mechanics and fell in love with experimental physics. I will also describe, from my perspective, what was going on and what we were thinking. Article not available.
