The Standard Model Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

The 1970s was the decade of the standard model! This decade whichbegan with quantum field theory in disarray ended with a practical set of QFT toolsfor calculations for strong interactions at high and low energies and for electroweakinteractions at all energies. After briefly remembering how we got there, I celebrate theremarkable achievements of particle physics in the 1970s and comment on where wego from here.
