Retroactive OA for three papers by new Nobel laureate

The American Physical Society has provided retroactive OA to three articles (1, 2, 3) by Yoichiro Nambu, one of this year's three Nobel laureates in physics.  More details in yesterday's announcement.

Comment.  APS did the same thing last year for three papers on the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity, the prize-winning discovery.  See my October 2007 blog post for details and comments.
